Summary:
“I wasn’t expecting Rachel Barton Pine to be such a persuasive advocate for Khachaturian’s much-maligned Violin Concerto. She’s not a flashy player, and – let’s face it – this is one of the flashiest of concertos. Instead, her success here comes from purely her musicianship, which is utterly unaffected. There are no virtuoso tricks, no swooping, swooning or mooning; she just plays it honestly.” – Gramophone
Traditional folk music elevated to high art: that theme binds the unique coupling of Billboard chart-topping violinist Rachel Barton Pine’s latest release of the Violin Concertos by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák and Soviet-Armenian Aram Khachaturian. The multi-faceted young American Teddy Abrams conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, making for a truly international collaboration.
