Those are both fine recordings as well.
In fact the only one I’ve heard that might be considered bad is the very schmaltzy Accardo on Philips.
Bruch composed the work in Berlin during the winter of 1879â1880. Despite the dedication to Sarasate, Joseph Joachim was involved in the fingering and bowing of the solo part prior to the composition going to press...
The premiere was in Liverpool on 22 February 1881 with Bruch, who was the director of the Liverpool Philharmonic Society, conducting and Joachim as the soloist. Bruch was unhappy with Joachimâs performance, describing him as having "ruined" the work. ((Wikipedia))
I wonder what Joachim did to screw up the very first performance of this marvelous piece.
