“Mantovani certainly has a gift for inventing the kind of refined and detailed orchestral textures that one generally thinks of as French, but there are also moments of great power and virtuosity in the Concerto, which was written for the outstanding soloists Tabea Zimmermann and Antoine Tamestit who play here”
