Dog's Breakfast

A dismal offering from the free BBC Music magazine cover disc, reinforcing my decision to cancel my regular subscription. A scratchy version of Bach's partita number 3 for solo violin from Yehudi Menuhin in 1976 followed by Tasmin Little with a routine play through of Bruch's first violin concerto ( yawn ) with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales conducted by David Atherton. There is then an encore piece from her of Souvenir d'un lieu cher by Tchaikovsky, followed by vintage Nathan Milstein playing short inconsequential pieces from De Falla and Paganini in 1957.
