| |  | Khachaturian: Violin Concerto
Armenia’s greatest composer Aram Khachaturian received both acclaim and criticism from the Soviet regime, including the USSR State Prize for his three Concerto-Rhapsodies. “A concerto is music with chandeliers burning bright; a rhapsody is music with chandeliers dimmed, and the Concerto-Rhapsodies are both”, he explained. The Violin Concerto’s passionately heroic first movement and poignant Andante sostenuto lead to a virtuosic, dancing finale. Both works on this disc brim with the full-blooded lyricism of his much-loved ballet Spartacus, Suites Nos. 1–3 of which are available on 8550801. “An excellent introduction to a comparative rarity in the composer’s output.” MusicWeb International “It's an immensely attractive work, full of his trademark Armenian folk flourishes, and the swaying, hypnotic Andante is notably beautiful.” The Guardian, 12th June 2009 *** | | | (also available to download from $6.00) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

Powerful accompaniments, too.” BBC Music Magazine, June 2009 **** “Stott, most sympathetically accompanied by Vernon Handley and the RPO, proves a persuasive, committed interpreter” Penguin Guide, 2011 edition | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
