'Anthony Marwood has championed the Vasks over a number of years and delivers a wonderfully moving and intense performance of the solo part. The strings of the ASMF are responsive partners … Their colleagues in the wind, brass and percussion departments prove equally adept in the spiky passage work of the Weill, and the lack of a separate conductor doesn't inhibit Marwood from extracting the maximum degree of virtuosity and sensitivity from Weill's knotty writing … a very special disc indeed' - BBC Music Magazine

- BBC Music Magazine
Anthony Marwood's silvery tone and immaculate intonation are on display in this fascinating disc featuring two hugely contrasting, twentieth-century violin concertos. Weill composed his concerto in 1924 and its style is influenced by Schoenberg and Stravinsky. Pe-teris Vasks' music, as with many composers who emerged from eastern Europe in the 1980s, has a strong spiritual theme and a fragile beauty
