Amazon.com In the liner notes for some violin recital discs, we can read about the vintage of the instrument being played. On Linda Brava's debut disc for EMI, we get to read about some of the violinist's turn-ons: skiing, scuba diving, acting, and car racing. A true Renaissance woman, she has graced the pages of Playboy and appeared on TV's Baywatch, and she owns an apple cider company (which, we're told, is a top-seller in her native Finland). She also plays the violin. Sadly, her performance isn't nearly as spotless as her complexion. Joined by pianist John Lenehan, Brava performs a mixed bag of compositions--short pieces from Elgar, Fauré, Paganini, and Sibelius, to name a few. The trait these performances share is that they're played uncommonly slowly and unremarkably. She performs a passable version of Fauré's Berceuse pour violin, but on Sibelius's Rondino she sounds absolutely stiff and erratic; Ave Maria highlights Brava's poor intonation. It's a good thing she has so many other assets to fall back upon. --Jason Verlinde Product Description Linda Brava Is A Real Violin Talent, Intellegent, Beautiful & A Natural Star.
