An excellent account from Norbert Kraft, spontaneous and catching well the music’s colour atmosphere. If it is not quite as individual as bream’s version, it is has the advantage of vivid, well-balanced, modern, digital recording and excellent couplings. Another genuine Naxos bargain.
On Naxos a first-class version of this slight but attractive concerto, which is well suited by the relatively intimate scale of the performance. The recording is well balanced and vivid, and the soloist, Norbert Kraft, has plenty of personality; and the accompaniment is fresh and polished. Typically excellent Naxos value. --Penguin Guide ***
Norbert Kraft is not yet a household name but if his publicity ever matches his quality he certainly should attain that status. --Gramophone
Kraft proves himself excellent at conveying a sense of enjoyment and fun…At budget price…this disc is certainly a real bargain: it makes you wonder whether it really is worth the extra for full and mid-price discs. --Classic CD
