***** (Excellent Album)

“...In all three works the soloist has her work cut out for her. Tasmin Little is more than up to the job. She plays with a rich, accurate tone. She has no difficulties with some of the incredible hurdles for the soloist, including many multi-stop passages, harmonics in extreme high range, and precipitous leaps of register... Edward Gardner and the BBC players extend their excellent work on the Szymanowski symphonies to these concertos. Chandos’s coupling of three of the finest Polish works in this genre is another plus...”

“... I think both Little and Edward Gardner have the measure of this enjoyable Concerto [Karlowicz] ...” ****

“An irresistibly compiled, performed and recorded CD of violin concertos from the late-romantic and folk-impressionist eras.”

“... Tasmin Little displays a musicianship that consistently marks her out as fully the equal, and in many respects the superior, of any violinist currently before the public. In this regard, she is splendidly supported by the BBC Symphony under Edward Gardner, whose whole-hearted contribution to the profound impact of these performances cannot be overstated. A terrific disc, of high distinction.”   *****

“Romantic concertos that stand in a class of their own... Little is once again on peak form, playing with infectious virtuosity and ravishing tone.”
