“Baiba Skride’s Britten is among the best in a crowded field”

“…An indispensable new Britten album.”

Geraint Lewis – Gramophone magazine – March 2024

“…In Benjamin Britten’s Violin Concerto, Baiba Skride offers a reading that is deeply inspired by beautiful playing. All the historical and personal aspects that have to be interpreted in Britten’s work are captured by her supple tone… The ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra is close and participatory at her side and offers a very close connection to the soloist under the baton of Marin Alsop. Together they create a captivating musical discourse…” ****
