Lalo: Concerto Russe & Piano Concerto


“Four of the five works show off Kantorow's transcendent virtuosity, but the finest is the 1888 Piano Concerto, well interpreted by Volondat.” --BBC Music Magazine, October 2012 ****

“The Piano Concerto...could hardly be played with greater assurance and affection than by Volondat...Kantorow's brilliance evokes memories of Sarasate himself. The recordings are exemplary in sound and balance.” --Gramophone Magazine, Awards Issue 2012




“Edouard Lalo's music is rarely played now, so this album is a welcome addition to his discography...Pierre-Alain Volondat is the heavyweight soloist in the Piano Concerto, Kees Bakels the energetic conductor.” --The Guardian, 9th August 2012 ****
