Kyung Wha Chung’s now legendary recording of the Violin Concerto was made in 1972 in the presence of the composer and immediately drew the most enthusiastic reviews: “… she gets to the heart of this music, demonstrates its toughness as well as its soul-searching lyrical warmth … Chung’s incisiveness compasses the fearsome virtuoso writing of the Scherzo not just with assurance but with wit and obvious enjoyment in display ... here in sum is a great, deeply involving performance.” Gramophone May 1973

Symphony No. 2


English Northern Philharmonia, Paul Daniel

"Having firmly established itself as the leading budget price label, Naxos is now stating a claim to be the major purveyor of British repertoire" - The Times - March 1996

“Tomter displays impressive control in the virtuosic Scherzo, but he sounds oddly cautious at more than one point where recklessness and sheer dash would be welcome, and his shifts of tempo are not always totally convincing. Good value, though.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008
