The first time I ever heard of the name Gil Shaham was bumping into his romances cd at the library, I thought he was a second rate soloist only capable of playing slow lyrical pieces, a few months later I saw his Sibelius cd and I remember thinking this is going to be awful but I was completely wrong,
I was blown away with his golden tone, expressive vibrato and ability to speak with every note and have been a big fan ever since.
I encourage everyone to check out the tv broadcast someone put up of his performance of the Sibelius Concerto, its really really awesome.
Deutsche Grammophon is a wonderful label producing really awesome sounding recordings of unbelieveabe quality but I still wonder why they dropped Shaham and Mintz but kept Mutter on their label, this confuses and upsets me.
They did, however sign Hilary Hahn which has been a good move for them, however she has yet to make a good recording for them IMO, I liked Hahn's recordings before she signed with them for some reason.
I have also said many many times I would rather listen to Saint Saens then Mozart or Beethoven.
I have uploaded rare out of print and unreleased recordings that are difficult to find, I hope you like them.
Since they are so difficult to find no one should mind me uploading them, if you have issues with me uploading them please send me a message and I will remove them.
