Staatskapelle Weimar, Stefan Solyom Featuring Catherine Manoukian on violin, Berlin Classics is proud to present this live new recording of Elgar’s Violin Concerto, coupled with Salut d’Amour and Offertoire. Catherine Manoukian has performed on an international stage across many North American and Canadian concert platforms and has recorded and released five CDs to critical acclaim. “Manoukian's account of the Elgar [Concerto] is brimful of expressive fibre, acumen and intrepid character. Moreoever, she distils no want of wistful tenderness or fragrant poetry when the music demands it...Manoukian is watchfully partnered by Stefan Solyom and his beautifully prepared Weimar band (which can boast a particularly eloquent viola section)...her playing evinces both passion and grace in abundance. Well worth checking out.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2013 “What is ‘special’ about this version? To my ear it is the total unity of vision between soloist, orchestra and podium...Manoukian is completely on top of this work which is demanding both in its length and virtuosity. Throughout, this is a vibrantly passionate performance but one that does not sacrifice beauty of tone. At the same time, she does not exaggerate the music’s high Romanticism...a potent and exciting team. More please.” MusicWeb International, April 2013 |
