"Four Stars ... riveting performance ... Nicola Benedetti’s best recording to date ... a stunning array of timbres ... an interpretation worthy to stand alongside Oistrakh’s classic recordings."
- The Times of London
Gifted musician Nicola Benedetti explores contrasting Russian violin concertos on this recording of two compositions four decades apart: two different yet connected pieces. Glazunov’s glittering 1904 work is separated from his student Shostakovich’s 1947 concerto not only by 40 years, but also by several landmark events in the course of world history. Benedetti is accompanied on both concertos by the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Kirill Karabits.
".. the works on this album are polar opposites in their emotional expression, orchestral colour, formally and technically and reflect the enormous shift in compositional trends during the first part of the 20th century."
- Nicola Benedetti
