It seems that Gitlis gradually shed the self-effacing literalism that was current in the mid-20th Century and turned back to the great virtuosos of the late 19th and early 20th Century. He is fascinating if sometimes odd, but I always enjoyed listening to this set. © 2016 American Record Guide Read complete review on American Record Guide
