"The unfettered optimism of the Khachaturian Violin Concerto is captured to good effect in this 1964 recording. The outer movements, suffused with an exotic Armenian flavour, have muscularity, energy and drive yet, unlike some performances I’ve heard, in no way sound brash. In the second movement, Szeryng’s fulsome and ravishing tone is sensual and deeply appealing. The finale is informed by spirited nuance and inflection. Doráti is a skilful and responsive partner. Szeryng made another commercial recording of it twelve years earlier in mono with Pierre Dervaux and L’Association des Concerts Colonne. Interpretively along the same lines, this later recording has the added advantage of being in stereo. The performance is every bit as good as David Oistrakh’s account from 1954 with the Philharmonia, under the direction of the composer himself." -- Stephen Greenbank

"His musical civility is the opposite of Jascha Heifetz's visceral energy, or Joseph Szigeti's sonic provocation. Mr. Szeryng's precise intonation, tonal sheen and gracious phrasing, can make the knottiest music elegant.

Mr. Szeryng's diplomatic ideal matches his musical style: ''I am in favor of conciliation and reconciliation and I am very much against confrontation.'' His playing seems to proclaim the universal perfectability of the world, diplomatically conciliating even the most vexing difficulties.

But those musical placations can also be unconvincing. There is another quality to Mr. Szeryng's music that makes it more provocative and less diplomatic - a suggestion perhaps, that to this violinist, who has had homes all over the world, cosmopolitanism is accompanied by a sense of exile, that his sweet description of his idyllic childhood may hide other feelings as well.

He speaks of World War II as if it were still taking place; he hints at the enormity of difficulties remaining despite diplomacy. In his best playing, in counterpoint to the tone of conciliation, are overtones of melancholic anxiety. Even in the best of all possible worlds - painted in Mr. Szeryng's conversation and in his playing - there may be disturbing tensions, forces which music can elegantly present but never resolve."

"One of the music's great aristocrats, violinist Henryk Szeryng was a perfectionist in all things. A man of phenomenal intellect, he combined exemplary musical taste with a super-refined technique and ravishing purity of intonation." Julian Haylock – THE STRAD July 2009
