Schumann: Violin concertos; Phantasie
Baiba Skride (violin); Danish National SO, John Storgards
Orfeo C854131A
From the opening tutti of the D minor concerto, Skride and Storgards unite to give a powerful, richly romantic view of Schumann's works for violin and orchestra. Skride plays with impressive depth of tone and beauty of sound and, if Anthony Marwood's Hyperion disc of the same works is marginally to be preferred, it is encouraging that a musician as talented as her is moved to make such a strong case for these neglected works.
