Notes & Reviews:

"...Pearl's two-disc survey collects together some of Primrose's most outstanding recordings in splendidly bold and involving transfers, expertly annotated by viola guru Tully Potter. Listening to Primrose's second recording of Henri Casadesus's spoof 'Handel' Concerto...is to be instantly reminded of the great violist's extraordinary brilliance and vitality...So too the famous 1946 recordings of the Walton Concerto under the composer's direction..." ***** -Haylock, Classic CD
