I see that politician and self-confessed CD amasser, David Mellor has praised this disc in the London Daily Mail on 18th October. He speaks quite highly of this violinist and that the CD is well planned, with the main coupling to the Korngold, "by Miklos Rosza (sic), another fine composer who wowed Hollywood........Trusler plays the almost forgotten Rosza with great fire and passion and, for that alone, this is an essential purchase."

He advises that there have been SIX new versions of the Korngold work on CD this year alone; if true, an amazing statistic which makes for a rather uneven balance when compared to this latest release of MR's being just the fifth commercial disc release over 50 years! In fact, how Previn has never partnered a fiddler who played Rozsa's great concerto....... Perlman, Shaham, his ex-wife, Ms Mutter, etc, is kind of shocking. Furthermore, just how Previn has never recorded any Rozsa at all in such a long and active recording career defeats me frankly.

I sometimes wonder if he is so totally disillusioned over his association with Hollywood, especially the guys he knew there and worked with, he maybe just can't bring himself to do anything more than very occasionally premier a work somewhere when it suits him to do it. A bit sad really I feel.........and yet I respect him so much as an all-round musician of the highest calibre. Oh well, thats enough I suppose.
