Violin Concertos

On this critically-acclaimed recording, Arabella Steinbacher brings together Bruch's world famous First Violin Concerto with Chausson's lush Poème and Korngold's Violin Concerto, which is gradually gaining ground as a twentieth-century masterpiece. Steinbacher is joined by the Orquestra Gulbenkian under the baton of Lawrence Foster, with whom she has developed a congenial musical partnership over the years. BBC Music Magazine commented that "there is no doubting Steinbacher's refulgent sound or the flair of her delivery" while MusicWeb International praised "the tingling climax of this Chausson." After a temporary absence, this album now returns to the physical market in an affordable Stereo re-issue. Arabella Steinbacher is a multiple award-winner with an extensive Pentatone discography spanning more than a decade. Lawrence Foster and the Orquestra Gulbenkian are also longstanding partners of the label.
