Dvorak: Violin Concerto, Legends


“Tognetti's tone is clean, rather than fruity with vibrato. His reading of the first movement...is marked by a clean attack to bring out the freshness of imagination so typical of Dvorak...The Slavonic dance of the finale is done with exceptional lightness and sparkle with beautifully sprung rhythms” --Gramophone Magazine, August 2010

Editor's Choice - August 2010




Dvorák began to compose his Violin Concerto in 1879 and dedicated it to the great violinist Joseph Joachim. While waiting to finalise the concerto Dvorák composed Legends, a cycle of ten pieces for two pianos, which he shortly afterwards orchestrated.

Performing these two works are the acclaimed Australian violinist Richard Tognetti, as soloist in the concerto, and the Nordic Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Christian Lindberg. The same players have teamed up before on disc, namely on Nordic Showcase, an anthology of works for chamber orchestra. In the reviews of that disc, Tognetti’s performance was described by the reviewer in International Record Review as ‘music-making at a truly exalted level … the most enraptured and heartfelt rendering of the inexplicably neglected Svendsen Romance that I have ever heard.’

Dvorak: Piano Concerto & Violin Concerto


"The clarity of his [Hayroudinoff’s] articulation in the trickiest passagework is phenomenal, and his phrasing in the central Andante sostenuto is limpidly beautiful, even warmer than that of Richter. Helped by full, rich sound which yet allows fine detail, Noseda and the BBC Philharmonic match the subtlety and point of the soloist’s playing, establishing this as an outstanding modern version…The Canadian violinist James Ehnes gives a strong, incisive performance with speeds on the fast side in the first two movements and with the furiant finale bitingly fresh." --Gramophone Magazine




James Ehnes is an excellent soloist in the magnificent Violin Concerto on this Chandos release. His phrasing has a most natural elasticity and he has a sure sense of the dramatic that seems to filter through to the orchestra, who impart a layer of intensity to the to the pastoral-Czech slow movement.
--The Strad

Dvorák was by no means an expert pianist, as is reflected in page after page of awkward, unidiomatic writing, yet Hayroudinoff somehow clarifies and illuminates even the most densely-textured terrain, making it glisten and radiate emotional warmth. Even Richter’s celebrated EMI recording must cede to this outstanding newcomer. Joseph Ehnes’s golden-toned, impassioned brilliance proves every bit as effective in the Violin Concerto… The BBC Philharmonic and Gianandrea Noseda join in all the fun with infectious skill and alacrity, and there’s an exemplary booklet note from Calum MacDonald. --Classic FM Magazine

…Hayroudinoff is excellent: he has an invigorating manner, and a clear enjoyment of the work and a belief in it which are very convincing. --International Record Review

Elgar: Cello Concerto; Dvorak: Silent Woods


"She balances of warmth and melancholy moving between glowing and thoughtful music making, her soulful sound permeates the moments of intensity." --Generalanzeiger, Germany

In addition to Elgar's famous Cello Concerto, the album is further enhanced by beautiful new arrangements of poetic, shorter works by Elgar, including "Salut d'amour," "Sospiri" and "Capricieuse", and romantic pieces by Antonín Dvorák and Ottorino Respighi. 




The limited first edition of this album is released with a bonus CD featuring the spectacular composition "Gramata cellam - a book for cello solo," by the Latvian Peteris Vasks which Sol Gabetta often plays as an encore and her fans have reportedly been requesting on CD for a long time.
