Chloe Hanslip; Alexander Vedernikov: Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana - Glazunov & Schoeck: Works for violin and orchestra

The brilliant young violinist Chloe Hanslip has recorded another volume of Hyperion�s Romantic Violin Concerto series, and displays her usual insouciant virtuosity and obvious delight in the music.Glazunov�s Violin Concerto, written for Leopold Auer, is a masterpiece of violin writing, including a brilliantly effective cadenza by the composer himself. As Hans Keller wrote, �Glazunov created an almost perfect concerto�instrumentally, the best I know amongst pianists� violin concertos�.Swiss composer Othmar Schoek is probably best known for his Lieder. His Concerto quasi una fantasia in B flat major, Op 21, for violin and full orchestra is his most substantial concert work. The lyric passion and attractiveness of the work�s ideas earn it a distinguished place among the violin concertos of the immediate pre-World War I period.
