Barber / Bruch: Violin Concertos

"One of the first things to strike one about this fine recording is its exquisite attention to the lower end of the dynamic spectrum. The opening recitativos of the Bruch No. 1 in G minor find violinist Esther Yoo magicking those well-worn phrases with yearning intensity and a sense of introspective awe." BBC Music

"The American violinist produces tones of breathtaking beauty in the Bruch adagio and the Barber andante, but is equally capable of vigour and vim when the works require it. Hers is an excellent account of both pieces, full of empathy and innate musicality, as is the RPO's." Sunday Times
