Kyung Wha Chung, Paul Neubauer, Robert Cohen Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra & Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Vladimir Ashkenazy, André Previn & Andrew Litton 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 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

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 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Lawrence Power (viola) BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Ilan Volkov ‘In the 21st century, one new name stands out, the British player Lawrence Power, and this disc swiftly tells us why. He’s fleet-fingered. He’s various: the changing hues never stop. He’s effortlessly eloquent with a centred tone across his entire range’ (The Times) “Lawrence Power is a commanding soloist. Always responsive to Walton's plethora of expression and articulation markings. Ilan Volkov partners him with superbly disciplined orchestral playing…” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

Helen Callus (viola) New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Marc Taddei “Callus possesses an enviably rich tone, heard to full advantage” The Sunday Telegraph “Callus has a wonderfully smoky tone and a fine rhetorical flair, and combines brilliance with intensity. In the finale, though she broadens the tempo for the sweeping lyrical second theme much more than Walton directs, weakening he impact of the coda.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
