Another Rave posted on 08/03/2011 5 Stars Reviewer: David K. Well, it is hard to know which side is better: The Scottish Fantasy is a great complement to the famed Heifitz version - Rabin was right in that league of famous fiddlers, for sure. And the Wieniawski is a heart breaker. I am replacing my Al Green and Barry White couch music with this. Again, very quiet surfaces. A wonderful recording.
