No, Laundrew plays a lot of Gothic stuff. I'm the headbanger!

OK, my bad.

I only played a few of your choices to establish the genre.

I just figured Laundrews stuff was the same from the album covers only. He conveniently doesn't include any links so we can have a listen, no doubt he's afraid we'll turn into a bat if we dare....

Listening to the third movement of Paganini's violin concert no. 1. With the volume at 12PM. Ah, the joys of a well recorded CD (courtesy of Deutsche Gramophon).... it's actually not loud, except for the short moments when the sustaining orchestra goes full size.... ha that's how it should sound.....

Incidentally, this is one of the most difficult pieces ever written for violin. Many have failed at it before, and some well known artists even left us vinyl and CD records of their lamentable screeches.....

Hilary isn't perfect either, as she is rather calculated and reticent in her approach, leading to a slower performance (when compared to a titan like Leonid Kogan) with little emotion conveyed. Technically though she is perfect. Not a single slip.

So if you want a recent, well recorded, technically excellent recording of Paganini's concerto, this is it.

If you want the most audacious interpretation possible, look for Leonid's one, but you'll have to put up with the recording quality @ cca 1953.

Cool. I dig Mott the Hoople. Ian Hunter too. Yeah, Ian and Mott are kind of cult artists here in the US. Nevertheless, great stuff!
