From the review:

... I wrote of Songs of Fate in February 2024: Kremer’s commitment to playing the violin at an age when most colleagues have long turned to conducting shows how closely he regards the instrument as his personal voice. Down the decades, his tone has mellowed from Moscow-tooled precisionism to a round, all-embracing warmth. This austere and uplifting record is imbued with humanity and idealism. I don’t think I have ever recommend a new record as essential. This one is.

Oh yes, it is.
