-"stunning performance of Nielsen's still too little known Violin Concerto ... soloist attacks that last movement with an uplifting rhythmis lilt and a certain rustic vigor, witout undue haste. (The Nielsen competition's silver medallist and special prize winner) ... adapts perfect intonation and fearlessly conquers the first movement's virtuoso passages. Given a perfectly idiomatic accompaniment ... result is as fine a version of this work as any" - David Hurwitz, Classics Today
