“Spalding fits the ‘inimitable’ label that Parnassus’s collection of violinist can claim as a given, and these mostly unpublished recordings (around 1950) are both songful and fresh. … the performances by Spalding and Dohnányi make this well-transferred disc indispensable for all lovers of quality chamber of music memorably performed.”
