About
A NEW CONTRIBUTION TO A GLORIOUS TRADITION
Tchaikovsky has dedicated some of his finest music to the violin, but this new album expands the instrument’s repertoire even further. Inspired by greats such as Sarasate, Heifetz, Kreisler and Joachim, violinist Guy Braunstein reanimates a tradition of violin and orchestra rhapsodies with new arrangements of famous excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin and Swan Lake. Together with the extraordinary Violin Concerto, Valse Scherzo and Sérénade mélancolique, they constitute a collection of glittering Tchaikovsky Treasures.
On this first PENTATONE album, Braunstein plays with the renowned BBC Symphony Orchestra, led by maestro Kirill Karabits.

Reviews
“… From start to finish Guy Braunstein excels, a sterling advocate for Tchaikovsky’s glorious works for violin and orchestra.”
“Light and playful and lots of sensuality: the 18 minute long first movement from Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto is beautifully played in this new recording with the Israeli violinist Guy Braunstein and the Ukrainian conductor Kirill Karabits. The Canzonetta sounds imaginative and poetic, melancholic, but not at all greasy. Karabits provides particularly invigorating colours. In the final movement Braunstein’s playing is ravishing, always light and agile, but also with very personal phrasing and accents. The five smaller pieces, three of which were arranged by Braunstein for solo violin and orchestra, are delightful.” *****
