Lovers of the viola will rejoice at this deliciously varied musical feast: Zoltán Kodály's magnificent transcription of Bach's Chromatic Fantasia, Paganini's Sonata (actually a theme and variations), two elegiac pieces by Vieuxtemps, Kreisler's Praeludium and Allegro, Benjamin's Le tombeau de Ravel, Enescu's treacherously difficult yet fluidly melodic Concert Piece, Jongen's impressionistic Introduction et Danse, and Bernard Shore's charming Scherzo.
