WARNING: I'm sorry to report that the violin-playing on this release sounds distinctly sub-par:

A real shame.
Oh. that's a pity. Alan. At a quick glance I can't see any other available recordings.
Quite so. But this release won't cut it, IMHO.
I wonder if it's his instrument? I am reminded of a local faculty member who I thought had good technique but whose tone was thin, like we hear in the audio samples here. This always perplexed me, and I surmised that it might be a case of a musician being faithful to a certain instrument but not realizing how it actually sounds at a distance as opposed to tucked under one's chin.
I think his intonation is sometimes suspect too...
