Schumann: Complete Works for Violin and Orchestra


“a fine case for this heinously neglected work.” --Gramophone Magazine, February 2012

“Wallin captures a freshness and energy in his performance. Brushing aside those associations of madness that have coloured Schumann's music, Wallin and his equally dedicated orchestra and conductor have achieved new levels of understanding - listen to the captivating second movement of the Concerto in D minor to appreciate his poetic interpretation.” --Classic FM Magazine, October 2011 ****




“Wallin has just the right sound for the music, sweetly expressive rather than brilliant...What makes these performances really special is the way they reveal the wayward passions under the music’s cosy, gentle surface. Wallin’s playing has a rhythmic flexibility which is exactly right for Schumann’s diffident impulsiveness...It’s hard to imagine more sympathetic and insightful performances of these wonderful pieces.” --The Telegraph, 4th August 2011 *****
