4 out of 5 stars For C. Toma.......2006-05-02

Dear Sir/Madam: Your review mentions Gidon Kremer, but the performance being advertised is by Jaap Schroder. Has your review been misplaced?

5 out of 5 stars If You Can Find It, Buy It.......2005-06-21

These performances are the best since Heifitz recorded them, and maybe even better. What ever the price, if you can find this buy it. You will not be sorry, unless you decide to buy a different set with somebody else at the violin.

5 out of 5 stars Unsurpassed, still.......2005-03-29

That Kremer is the greatest violinist of our time is no question. These 1980 recordings demonstrate an understanding of Bach's aesthetic reaching far beyond that of most of his virtuoso colleagues (Milstein, Shumsky, Perlman, Martzy & Szeryng included). Kremer hits exactly at the intersection between skill, passion, intellect and soul--the essence of Bach. His interpretation of the ubiquitous Ciaccona in particular is a miracle of music-making; I cannot tire of its overwhelming incandescence.

In short, this is the set to get. I hear Mr. Kremer has recently recorded these pieces anew, and they are still pending release, but until then, this one's damn well near definitive.
