Reviews :
« Bom in 1924, the Hungarian violinist Johanna Martzy is one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century, alongside the likes of Ida Haendel, Ginette Neveu, Erica Morini, Gioconda De Vito... the recordings we still have from her testify to a violinist and musician of the highest class who was not possessed by a demon compelling her to provide the world with as extravagant an interpretation as possible, but with unleashed verve, inspired articulation and perfectly clear control as a devoted medium of musical energies.
Johanna Martzy gives accomplished and stylish performances... beautifully balanced in all respects. » Gramophone
