Britten: Violin Concerto, Double Concerto & Lachry
Label: Hyperion Catalog: CDA67801 Format: CD Anthony Marwood, violin; Lawrence Power, viola; BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra; Ilan Volkov, conductorBenjamin Britten (1913-1976) Long recognized as an outstanding chamber musician, Anthony Marwood has more recently been making waves as a concerto soloist, with two contributions to the Romantic Violin Concerto series and now a disc of Britten with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Ilan Volkov. The youthful Violin Concerto, with its mix of anguished lyricism and changeability of mood nods to both Berg (whose own Violin Concerto had made a profound impression on Britten) and Prokofiev but the result is entirely personal.
