Violinist Aaron Rosand performs selections from Bach, Telemann, Enesco and Ysaye. Internationally acclaimed as one of the master violinists of our time, Aaron Rosand is renowned as an artist of unique personal style. The late Pablo Casals spoke of Mr. Rosand as the extraordinary violinist "with a powerful, expressive manner of playing, reminiscent of his old friend, Eugene Ysaye." In the grand tradition of virtuosity, he is noted for his interpretations of the 19th century repertoire. Mastering was done from the original master tape by Doug Sax. This production utilizes vacuum tubes completely from microphone through mastering process. First and foremost Audiofon has attempted to reproduce a spontaneous musical performance with utmost concert hall naturalism. They sought out artists at the peaks of their careers and asked them to record works from their active performing repertoire. Since the musical flow is of prime importance, they urged the artists to reduce editing to an absolute minimum so that the integrity of a real performance could be maintained. Audiofon felt that an occasional wrong note is far less bothersome than a note-perfect performance that emerges as musically sterile because the tape editor's scalpel has cut away the spontaneous breath of life along with the wrong notes. Consistent with the view that the ultimate objective is to create a real musical performance in a natural concert hall perspective, Audiofon utilized the finest state of the art recording technology. Audiofon did not utilize digital techniques because they felt that the digital process has yet to achieve the musical quality attainable with 30 ips analog mastering with custom built Mark Levinson ML-5 electronics coupled with B&K 4133 microphones and Mark Levinson ML-8 pre-amplifiers. Record masters are cut from the original master tapes using the same head and playback electronics. No noise reduction, no limiting, and no signal processing are used in the recording's mastering process so that a distortion-free record of utmost dynamic range can result. Audiofon's technology produces maximum realism when played on state of the art equipment. "Rosand is one of the world's patrician artists, a musician filled with a deep sense of something far too often missing among today's violinists, a true awareness of style. His technical resources match those of any of the big names in the violin world. His tone is something many of them covet, a thing of multi-colored beauty, lithe and live, shining and shadowy, according to the music he is playing at the moment."--Paul Hume, The Washington Post
