Ray Chen (violin) & Noreen Polera (piano) After winning two of the world's biggest violin competitions in the last couple of years, this talented young player releases his new album, featuring x10 recordings. These are some of his personal favourites & include works by Bach, Wieniawski, Tartini & Franck. Strong press support across Gramophone "One To Watch", other classical music mags & broadsheets. “I was charmed by Chen's emphasis on delicacy and beauty in Tartini's Devil's Trill, avoiding the temptation to go for the wow factor. It's a preference he demonstrates throughout; in the Wieniawski Variations he generates tremendous power and control in the virtuoso passages, but then introduces a tone of sweet intimacy. [The Franck] is mature and emotionally developed.” Classic FM Magazine “He gives the impression that violin playing comes easily to him, even when the music is technically complex, but he's also a thoughtful player, able to captivate the listener...With Wieniawski Chen is in his element...However, the most impressive part of the recital is surely the Franck. Here is a passionate, uninhibited account, but also a meticulous one” Gramophone Magazine, February 2011 “this new violinist plays with a maturity that scarcely suggests someone still only 21...colours dance, moods swing, and Chen’s artistry blazes. Hurrah, too, for Noreen Polera’s suave piano accompaniment.” The Times, 5th February 2011 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
