Shostakovich. Violin Concerto No.1
Alina Ibragimova, violin. State Academic Symphony Orchestra of Russia ‘Evgeny Svetlanov’ conducted by Vladimir Jurowski. Hyperion.
We saw her play Prokofiev’s First Violin Concerto with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra last night in the Usher Hall. Sensational playing!

Originally posted by visualnickmos View PostI have enjoyed that cycle for many years. Yes - 7th is stunning, as is 9th. 'Pastoral' not really cutting the mustard. The rest; all pretty good, but outsanding in their field? Not quite, really. Solt's oeuvre with Chicago, is a fairly mixed bag (well - according to my collection which includes some of said oeuvre) but I gather it was the live concerts he created in the orchestra's home city that were real gems...
Another Decca cycle I love, is Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt, which I really give another airing.

Having just stumbled across "Viktoria Mullova - 3 Classic Albums" in a pile of discs at the top of the stairs (don't ask), I thought I'd give the third disc in the set a spin (Stravinsky and Bartok 2nd concertos with the LAP and Salonen). So far, so pretty damned good. Very different from Pat Kop.
