"I have to agree with the opinion below by "A music fan from Tlalmanalco". The caprices by Rode are not just "etudes" for students in intermediate to advanced levels, but are solid art works that many music lovers who enjoy various solo violin pieces would appreciate, if played beautifully. The Shumsky recording has proved that. The violinist in this recording unfortunately lacks proper basic techniques (in particular, intonation and speed) to sound the music at an artistic level."
I'm sorry

"I'm really sorry, but as a fiddle player, and also a records collector, I found this recording very amateur, violinists need certainly much better performers for pieces we study, once was available a record of these studies made by Shumsky, IT WAS A GREAT PERFORMANCE, and encouraged us very well, buy it if you just want to get an idea of how it should sound, but just take it as an idea, because also I found many wrong notes in entonation."
