Violin Concerto / Concerto-Rhapsody

"Mihaela Martin's orchestral accompaniment by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine under American conductor Theodore Kuchar is first-rate and in sparkling sound...It's nice to have both pieces on the same disc. And these are very good performances in modern sound. And then there's the budget price."
-- Scott Morrison, amazon.com

"Well-trained musicians from the Ukraine's National Symphony and heartfelt playing from the Romanian-born violinist Mihaela Martin."
-- Music Week, January 24, 2004

"[Mihaela Martin]...patient enough to allow the work's strands to unfold at length. Abetted by a fine recording...Martin and sure-handed conductor Theodore Kuchar make a persuasive case for its revival."
-- Bradley Bambarger, Newark Star-Ledger, February 3, 2004
