 | from Hubay: Violin Concertos Nos 1 & 2 (CDA67498) 1 Gavotte: Moderato [4'46] 20 minutes 0 seconds 4 tracks2 Idylle: Andantino [4'54] 3 Intermezzo: Allegro assai ma non troppo [5'04] 4 Finale: Mouvement du premier morceau – Allegro vivace [5'16] ‘Hagai Shaham is something very special indeed with a sound that reminds me of Heifetz at his most silkily seductive. Both of these blazingly romantic works should be in concert halls the world over’ ... ‘Hagai Shaham does wonders for these neglected scores, playing with beguiling purity throughout the range, and a heart-felt intensity that makes the most of Hubay's penchant for soaring E-string melod ... ‘The performances are uniformly excellent: Hagai Shaham is a supple soloist and gives the music all the support he can’ (The Guardian) |
