This morning:
Mendelssohn & Beethoven Violin Concertos
Joshua Bell violin
Camerata Salzburg, Sir Roger Norrington

I haven't listened to this in a few years and I guess I've been spoiled by some of the great recordings I've been listening to lately. The overall tone of this is ok, but dynamics seem compressed. And while Bell's playing is technically fine, this recording just doesn't really draw me in. This is the only version I have of this beautiful Mendelssohn concerto, I need to explore other recordings.
