Description:
Born in Hungary and trained in Leipzig, Mikl's R zsa moved to America in 1940, winning a name for himself as a master of the Hollywood epic.
This CD presents an engaging coupling of a violin concerto and a sinfonia concertante, interpreted by the distinguished artists Khitruk, Tchekmazov and Yablonsky together with the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra. The programme focuses on late-Romantic and early 20th-century orchestral writing, highlighting both the expressive lyricism of the solo violin and the intricate interplay between multiple soloists and full orchestra. Listeners can expect sweeping melodies, virtuoso passagework and rich orchestral colours that bring out the emotional range of the works, from intimate cantabile lines to dramatic climaxes. The recording is engineered to capture a natural concert-hall perspective, balancing the presence of the solo instruments with the depth of the orchestral sound.
The soloists on this disc are respected musicians with solid international careers, known above all for their commitment to serious repertoire and their collaborations with leading orchestras. Violinist Khitruk is associated with refined tone, stylistic clarity and a particular affinity for 20th-century music. Tchekmazov contributes a warm, resonant string voice, and conductor Yablonsky, at the helm of the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra, shapes the performances with rhythmic precision and a keen sense for large-scale architecture. Together, they offer readings that are at once disciplined and expressive, emphasizing structural coherence while allowing the music's emotional content to speak plainly.
