Dong-Suk Kang – Sibelius / Elgar: Violin Concertos (2008/2014) [FLAC 24bit/44,1kHz]

Adrian Leaper conducts the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Czecho-Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra on this album of two popular violin concertos from the beginning of the 20th century. Multiple award-winning violinist Dong-Suk Kang is superb on both these works, recorded in 1989 and 1991.

Hailed for his outstanding artistry, musicianship and virtuosity, violinist Dong-Suk Kang has performed on five continents to extraordinary acclaim. Dominic Gill, a London music critic, describes Dong-Suk Kang in his book ‘The Book of the Violin’, as ‘one of the world’s great violinists. His flawless technique and perfect bow arm certainly produce one of the most beautiful violin tones to be heard anywhere today’. Ormandy, Serkin, Menuhin, Francescatti, and other eminent musicians also have praised him as one of the most outstanding violinists of his generation and a musician of the highest order.

“Even if it were at full price it would feature quite high in the current lists.” (Penguin Guide)
