Comments         : The Marcellus recording of the Mozart concerto is
                   phenomenal, but I got into a dispute about this recording 
                   with someone on the classical music newsgroup. When a 
                   person asked for a good recording of the piece, I 
                   recommended this one. Somebody responded by saying that 
                   Marcellus was "sterile and dry" and that he far preferred 
                   the Jack Brymer recording. The way I hear it, Marcellus has
                   such a purity of tone and perfection of technique that he 
                   doesn't need to embellish his performance with vibrato, 
                   etc. It's quite a heavenly recording, and as far as I'm 
                   concerned, the definitive one. But others will beg to 
                   differ.
