(Miniatures) ‘The Smetana and Kodály are both evocative works and so attractive … The recording, both of violin and piano, excellent, and well balanced’ (Vignettes) ‘the fiddle playing is superb, especially in the Wieniawskis, Träumerei, the delightful Sarasate dance and the attractive Nováček, which is magically played’ … ‘many short encores here are gems. Milstein would toss these off with ease, whilst the audience would be spellbound, waiting for more’ (Gramophone)
