Baltimore Sun, Tuesday October 5, 2004 - [excerpt]
...good old-fashioned artistry, un-frilled and unapologetic - the kind superbly represented by violinist Aaron Rosand. This guy isn't a throwback to a golden age of music-making - he is a golden age of music-making. And, since he's 76, you can take that in more than one way.
...Some of his best recordings are of very recent vintage. A recital filmed in California ... featuring remarkably assured and sensitive playing, will be out on DVD ... released by Video Artists International (VAI).
...a musician who is all about the music....a mind sharply focused on each note, the quality of each tone, the totality of a composer's thought. Throughout his long career, Rosand has maintained that focus, setting quite a standard for insight, as well as integrity. He has applied it not just to the large-scale pieces in the rich violin literature, but the little gems that used to be a standard part of any fiddler's program.
...The DVD... Sarasate showstopper and
Russian music... all delivered with technical aplomb and, above all, exquisitely tasteful, old-world style. Such attributes are like to be keenly felt on Sunday.
--Tim Smith, Sunday Music Critic, The
Baltimore Sun
