"... This excellent disc is rounded out with the lyrical ’Fantasy on Russian Themes’ by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Lovers of red-blooded violin music, rejoice."

John Terauds - The Toronto Star - 23 May 2011

The sound is immediate and full, Järvi’s Glasgow musicians respond alertly to his direction, and Calum MacDonald supplies a first-rate booklet essay.

International Record Review

Rimsky-Korsakov’s folk style Fantasy is pleasurable, while Taneyev’s Suite is a violin concerto in all but name. Fine strong performances

Classic FM Magazine

Lydia Mordkovitch plays throughout with a winning sincerity and burning sense of commitment that makes the best possible case for music that in the wrong hands can easily outstay its welcome. The real discovery here, however, is Taneyev’s 47-minute concert suite which may lack Rimsky’s heightened instincts for sonority and timbre, yet sounds far more comfortable in its virtuoso skin. Taneyev’s Saint-Saëns-like exquisite skill and professionalism is well to the fore, especially when soaring aloft in cantabile overdrive and Mordkovitch responds with playing of melting lyrical intensity and tonal opulence.

BBC Music Magazine

Mordkovitch has mellowed. She has refined her intonation, curbed her edgy dynamism. She is seeking and finding more tenderness. The heat of the moment, though, is still there and hse despatches Rimsky’s not inconsiderable pyrotechnics, his double- and triple-stopped passagework, with fiery determination.

Gramophone Editor's Choice

Mordkovitch’s passionate intensity combined with hushed support from the SNO at the very opening of the First Concerto set the ears tingling

Gramophone

This is a disc of bravura and allure well worth exploring
