Concertos Nos. 3 and 4 are not only formidably demanding from a technical standpoint, but also are extremely difficult to interpret musically. Rózsa has all the violinistic equipment necessary to tackle these fiendish scores, as he impressively shows in the first movement cadenza of the E minor work. For comparison, I turned to Salvatore Accardo's account on Deutsche Grammophon with Charles Dutoit and the London Philharmonic. Accardo is rightly regarded as a Paganini specialist, but he is neither as subtle in his phrasing and inflection nor so stylish and polished in bravura passages as Rózsa. Where Accardo is pleasingly warm-toned in the songful Adagio, Rózsa digs deeper and plays with greater imagination than we normally hear in this music. A constant feature of his musicianship is its wide- ranging coloration and nuance: you're never left with the impression that Paganini's slow movements are just entr'actes.
In Concerto No. 4 Rózsa's interpretation has something palpably demonic about it, surely coming closer to the composer's own intentions than Accardo offers in his version. While the opening movement brings moments of mercurial brilliance and panache, the Adagio has a depth of sentiment rarely encountered outside a live performance. Packed with risk-taking solo playing and complemented by good, detailed sound, this release makes for an unmissable addition to anyone's basic violin library.–Michael Jameson
