Neveu Ginette: Complete Recordings (4x CD) - CD

Last year marked one hundred years since the birth of the French violinist Ginette Neveu, who died in a plane crash in the Azores at the age of just thirty, along with her brother Jean, an accomplished pianist.

In her time, she was highly prized, especially for her flawless phrasing and almost limitless palette of tonal colours. Her newly remastered complete studio recordings, taken from the best available original sources, are now being released on four discs. I can responsibly declare that, for example, her Sibelius is still an absolutely top-class affair today.
