Mr. Phillips' repertoire is Dvorak--the Sonatina in G, op. 100, and a selection of shorter works. The violinist approaches the heartfelt romanticism with a certain reserve, as if afraid of wallowing in it. Yet his amber tone and mellifluous touch il­luminate Dvorak's melodies. The Sonatina, performed with respect for its essential simplicity, is especially winning. Charles Abramovic provides sensitive accompani­ments.
