CD Review:
"One of the true aristocrats of the modern violin, Aaron Rosand is captured here in his mid-to-late
1970s peak via Norwegian Radio recordings of outstanding quality of their period. Listening to these bracing live
performances one feels in the presence of a master whose tonal purity and ringing intonation..."

"All of these performances are so good that if you only had them and no other recordings of the work, you wouldn't be missing much" |
American Record Guide Review: Aaron Rosand in Norway
"These performances, some of them taken from concerts and some from broadcasts,
date from 1974 to 1980. They capture Aaron Rosand in his prime recorded in fine sound with
good orchestras and sensitive conductors. Every now and then a release comes along that reminds you
what a superb violinist Aaron Rosand is, and this is one of them. All these performances
are so good that if you only had them and no other recordings of the works, you wouldn't be
missing much. Rosand supplies all the tonal richness, nuance, and stylistic sensitivity that these
works need. I'd say the only dog in the lot is the Violin Concerto by Klaus Egge, and not because of Rosand's performance.
The music just isn't interesting. Everything else, though, is wonderful."

| technical aplomb and, above all,
exquisitely tasteful, old-world style |
Violinist performs with no frills attached - These days, when classical music is in such a marketing-driven state, like everything else, people are invariably looking for the next hot young talent, preferably with some visual flash. It's so much about fizz and buzz. Which is one reason why it's worth being reminded periodically of good old-fashioned artistry, un-frilled and unapologetic - the kind superbly represented by violinist Aaron Rosand. . . Some of his best recordings are of very recent vintage. A recital filmed in California last fall, featuring remarkably assured and sensitive playing, will be out on DVD - his first - next month, released by Video Artists International (VAI). --Tim Smith, Sunday Music Critic, Baltimore Sun, Tuesday October 5, 2004 - read entire article -

Where he really triumphs is with that elusive quality called artistry. |
Violinist continues to display artistry, poise and polish
Longevity is something wonderful to behold - and to hear. Consider the case of violinist Aaron Rosand, who continues to defy the usual toll of time and give unusually satisfying concerts at the age of 76. . . (a)
remarkable lesson in longevity, style and heart.
