Violin Concertos in E minor Op 64 and D minor

Product Description This new recording couples the famous E-Minor Concerto with the much less well-known, youthful D-Minor Concerto and the F Minor Violin Sonata. Star violinist Tianwa Yang plays all three works very musically and expressively, supported by conductor Patrick Gallois and his Sinfonia Finlandia. Review Tianwa Yang's bright violin solos trip delicately over the top of the orchestral texture, and she handles the speedy passages with a impressive lightness of touch. It would be easy to over-egg Mendelssohn's soupy solos in the middle Andante movements, but Yang s versions sound beautifully fragile rather than indulgent. A diverse mix of great music, showcasing the best features of Romantic violin repertoire, featuring hummable tunes, orchestral passion, and delicate chamber music. --Classic FM, February 2013
