It includes feisty reviews such as ". . . Pachelbel was a third-rate baroque non-entity who occasional rose to the level of second-rate in some of his organ music." And praise of favorites such as Fritz Kreisler, ". . . one of the greatest violins in history whose recordings of Beethoven, Brahms, and Mendelssohn concertos remain unsurpassed in their Romantic daring and philosophical depth . . ."About the Author: Jim Svejdahosts the popular weekly American Public Radio showThe Record Shelf,as well as the CBS Radio programOn Film.In addition to his radio programs, he is the station manager for KUSC in Los Angeles.
