A former pupil of Nathan Milstein, Hideko Udagawa shares with her legendary teacher a propensity for revealing the violin’s natural soundworld by subtle coaxing rather than applied pressure. This gives her tone a ringing, espressivo directness reminiscent of the ‘golden age’ of Menuhin, Stern and Oistrakh…arguably finest [here] is Kreisler’s Vivaldi pastiche, which fits stylistically hand-in-glove with Udagawa’s ‘old world’ charm and poetic eloquence
