"The Tchaikovsky who lived in Soviet Russia wrote music that was so far ahead of its time and outside official styles that you have to double-check the dates. The 1954 first quartet sounds like music Shostakovich wrote 20 years later. The second quartet (1961) delivers Glass-like minimalisms while the third (1967) anticipate the mystic Pole, Gorecki. Compelling stuff." Norman Lebrecht

“It
certainly is unlike any other violin concerto I’ve ever heard. In such
rare works we are taken to an inner world that we simply could never
have imagined existed, and yet it is presented to us with such
particularity and vividness that it seems undeniablyreal. The
performance conveys absolute conviction” (Mark Lehman, American Record Guide). |
