Bought the CD not become this recording that has became my performance of the week. I had and still have no idea who Maria Balint is. She played with Budapest Symphony Orchestra with György Lehel conducting. I bought this CD because the CD had the Gary Karr’s with London Symphony take on the “Introduction and Variations on Themes by Rossini”. The Karr’s Rossini was on boring side but the Chausson’s Poem on the same CD was surprisingly good, the Budapest Symphony was very good as well. The same CD has Balint/Budapest/Lehel take on Paganini’s First Violin Concerto – also very good.
The Balint started the Chausson’s Poem with many problems but she good better and better and in whole like it very much. Well, the Balint’s Chausson’s Poem is not Oistrakh with Munch and Boston and not Oleg Kogan with Russian Symphony from end 50s, not Ferras with National Orchestra of Belgiumfrom beginning of 50s, not the Kreisler with Philadelphia from 40s and not Francescatti with Ormandy and Philadelphia from 50s. Still it is WAY more sophisticated then just another violinist…. I wonder what happen with this girl and why she is no where…
