Sarasate: Zigeunerweisen, Op. 20 — Francisco Fullana with the Joven Orquesta Nacional de España (JONDE), cond. Nuno Coelho.
Fullana manages to combine Itzhak Perlman's warmth with the aristocratic poise of Henryk Szeryng.
Practically acting through his violin — technical perfection and sweetness of tone on his 1735 Guarneri.
Fullana dazzled with a limber, flexible bow technique, playing in nearly continuous motion.
Terse and explosive, a compelling performance.
Fullana was frighteningly awesome.
