The performances are a wonderful showcase for the refined sound of the Gewandhaus Orchestra. Strings are unfailingly rich and burnished, brass have a full-bodied tone and woodwinds often distinguish themselves, particularly some velvety clarinet-playing in the Fifth...It’s the two concertos that really make this set attractive. Baiba Skride is outstanding in Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1.
