    Though by logic a violin concerto by Dvorák should be up there with Brahms, Tchaikovsky and Sibelius, for most of its life it has hardly seemed up there even with Bruch. Those who do love it generally cherish it very dearly indeed, and I have been one of those since my teens.
     
    Back then there weren’t all that many versions around and there was little doubt about which one to choose. Ricci/Sargent on Decca Ace of Diamonds and Milstein/Steinberg on World Record Club never had much allegiance.
