Violinist Tamsin Waley-Cohen continues her series of concerto recordings on Signum with two contrasting works by American composers.

Already considered by many to be a modern classic, John Adams 1993 Violin Concerto was described by the composer as having a ‘hypermelody’, in which the soloist plays longs phrases without stop for the duration of the 35 minute piece.

Although composed in 1949, the first performance of Roy Harris’ Violin Concerto didn’t occur until 1984. Since then it has been championed for its “luminous orchestration and exalted tone" and has been rarely recorded.

For this recording Tamsin Waley-Cohen is joined by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under American conductor Andrew Litton.

„Again, Tamsin Waley-Cohen provides a superb account of the violin solo, encompassing both the lyrical meditation and the high energy hi-jinks. In both, the concertos she is well supported by Andrew Litton and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. The album gives a fascinating insight into a very particular view of the violin concerto.“ (Planethugill)
