Complete Works for Violin

Product Description This two-CD set offers all the works that Prokofiev wrote for the violin as a solo instrument. One of the most sought after and acclaimed virtuoso violinists today, James Ehnes is accompanied by the BBC Philharmonic conducted by Gianandrea Noseda, and by the pianist Andrew Armstrong, with whom he has previously made a number of highly acclaimed Chandos recordings. The distinguished Amy Schwartz Moretti joins him in the Sonata for Two Violins. Review Ehnes' combination of virtuosity, sweet tone, flowing tempi and interpretative restraint suits all this music down to the ground. --David Gutman, Gramophone Choice, Nov 2013
