Ruggiero Ricci is in his element in these virtuoso concertos and showpieces, with both, the Tchaikovsky Concerto (with Sargent) and Scherzo and the Sibelius Violin Concerto being released internationally on CD for the first time. The perceptive booklet notes by Tully Potter include a biography of Ricci and (sometimes wry!) comments by the violinist himself on the recordings, and some fascinating detail on the first movement cadenza of the Khachaturian. All the recordings were made in a five-year period from 1956 (Khachaturian) to 1961 (Tchaikovsky). |

| |  | Khachaturian - Violin Concerto
Nicolas Koeckert (violin) Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, José Serebrier 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. “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 *** “An excellent introduction to a comparative rarity in the composer’s output.” MusicWeb International | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Gerhard Taschner (violin) Gerhard Taschner dazzled the Viennese public at the age of thirteen and later became the
youngest concertmaster of Wilhelm Furtwängler’s Berlin Philharmonic. There are very few
recordings of this violin virtuoso but those that do survive demonstrate to us that Taschner was a
remarkable talent. | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
