This CD features three of the great twentieth century British works. It begins with Walton's Violin Concerto which, written in 1939 and revised in 1943, is serenely indifferent to its historical context. (In fact, much of it was written in the south of Italy and, certainly, its ethereal atmosphere is more suggestive of the Mediterranean than the blackout.) As for the maverick soloist Nigel Kennedy, this piece is in many ways an ideal vehicle for him to display his talents. The second movement in particular, 'Presto capriccioso alla napolitana', makes huge demands on technical virtuosity. Kennedy is almost unfailingly accurate with intonation in the higher registers. His double-stopping is especially impressive. The Violin Concerto ... Read More:

5.Bowen; Walton - Viola Concertos by: New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Marc Taddei October 27, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £7.10
I can't think of another recording that packs this much outstanding music for viola and orchestra onto one CD. That is all wonderful English music from the golden era of Enlish music, the early 20th-century, with the likes of Vaughan Williams and Walton is excellent. Further, new discoveries, for me at least, of the Howells Elegy and Bowen Concerto is even better. And best of all is that violist Helen Callus is superb. She plays with such passion and drama, with a richness of sound that seems to have a thousand different possibilities, each one perfectly suited to every mood and nuance. Take the Vaughan Williams, for example which opens the CD. The Prelude is full and bold, the Carol is touching and intimate, the Christmas Dance is raucus ... Read More:
