Abstract

This review focuses on a recording of violin concertos by Paul Hindemith and Dmitri Shostakovich, performed by violinist Alexandra Tirsu with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vasily Petrenko. The program pairs Shostakovich's well-known First Violin Concerto with Hindemith's lesser-known concerto, highlighting Tirsu's insightful and coherent interpretations of both works. The review notes Tirsu's nuanced emotional delivery and technical skill, particularly praising her performance of Hindemith's concerto, which contributed to her recognition in the 2021 ARD radio competition. The recording's sound quality is described as clear and honest, effectively supporting the music without being overly showy. [Extracted from the article]
