April 2013

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.

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.
