"There are few concerto recordings in which the partnership between soloist and accompanying group is so complementary. The Telarc recording, full-blooded abd with a believable perspective, is well up to the high standards of the house."

"The young American violinist, Robert McDuffie has a bold, bright style. His partnership with the SCO and Swensen results in notably well-integrated performances. Instead of the 'big orchestra' sound we often hear in these concerto accompaniments, the Scottish players produce clear, transparent textures and perform with great finesse and commitment."
(Gramophone)
Acclaimed young violinist Robert McDuffie, known for his outstanding interpretations of works by contemporary composers, makes his mark in the traditional repertoire with the two most famous concertos for violin - Bruch and Mendelssohn.
Felix Mendelssohn:
Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64
Max Bruch:
Violin Concerto in G minor, Op. 26
