Experience a definitive performance of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto and the two Romances with this acclaimed 1988 release from RCA Victor Red Seal. Featuring the 26-year-old American virtuoso Joseph Swensen in his debut concerto recording, this CD captures a rising star during his exclusive signing with the prestigious label.
Accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the thoughtful direction of André Previn, Swensen delivers a reading noted for its "rapt quietness" and meditative, inwardly lyrical quality. Recorded in Watford in 1987, the DDD digital recording highlights Swensen’s pure tone and precise articulation, particularly in the "heart- and breathstopping" phrasing of the slow movement.
