The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and Thomas Sanderling perform three works by Russian composers showcasing violin virtuoso Sergey Ostrovsky. Mieczysław Weinberg, while not a household name, was highly regarded by Shostakovich. His recently revived Violin Concertino is an arrestingly scored and often bittersweet work which receives its world première recording on this album. Guided by Tchaikovsky’s influence, Anton Arensky’s neglected Violin Concerto is notable for its rich vein of melody and delicacy of orchestration. The Violin Concerto by Julius Conus, romantic in its variety of moods and expression, was once equal in popularity with that of Tchaikovsky.
“… (Ostrovsky’s) beyond technique, highly expressive and utterly musical, with a warm tone. The superb engineering is balanced, warm and embracing … here’s the perfect chocolate bath for the traditionalist still open to something new and for anyone with a romantic bias.” – American Record Guide
“This attractive release brings together three violin concertos by lesser-known Russian-based composers. They’re in sparkling interpretations by yet another gifted Russian violinist and a fine conductor … superior performances from Ostrovsky, Sanderling and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra are reinforced by good sound quality.” – MusicWeb International
