Tchaikovsky & Glazunov: Violin Concertos Vadim Gluzman, violin, Andrew Litton, conductor
Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, BIS –SACD-1432
Disc of the Month, Classic FM «Russian Delights. Vadim Gluzman assembles a musical dream team to record the violin concertos by Tchaikovsky and Glazunov. …In some rather more recent musical history, Conductor Andrew Litton’s transformation of Norway’s Bergen Philharmonic into one of Europe’s most lithe and sensitive orchestras has rendered it among the finest accompaniment-providers available; a luxurious partner for any soloist, especially when the formidable skills of Litton are thrown in as part of the deal. …Litton’s Bergen Philharmonic is exquisitely detailed from the opening bars», Classic FM May 2008
«…this is without doubt one of the work’s finest recordings in recent years. …Gluzman has also first-rate backing from Litton and his fine Norwegian band», BBC Music Magazine July 2008
«(The Strad Selection) Vadim Gluzman’s honeyed tone in the opening movement of the Glazunov Violin Concerto transports us back to the days of David Oistrakh, and recreates that innate Russian musicality of a previous generation. …The Bergen orchestra offers very positive support throughout», The Strad July 2008
«For sheer fiery virtuosity this version of the Tchaikovsky concerto is pretty hard to beat. Particularly in the finale Gluzman’s passage work in double-stops is jaw-droppingly spectacular. …Enthusiastically recommended!», Classics Today
«A new recording on the BIS label features Russian virtuoso extraordinaire Vadim Gluzman playing the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto backed up by the excellent Bergen Philharmonic under Andrew Litton … superlative performances», Chicago Tribune
«Ebenso überzeugt das Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra, das mit seinem Gründungsjahr 1765 übrigens eines der ältesten Orchester der Welt ist, in seiner Begleitfunktion, der es exakt wie engagiert nachkommt. Besonders der warme Streicher- und Holzbläserklang nimmt für sich ein», Klassik com
