Description:

A Historic Recording That Catapulted Master Violinist Chung Kyung-wha onto the World StageThis album, featuring a combination of the violin concertos by Sibelius and Tchaikovsky, is violinist Chung Kyung-whas debut recording. For over 50 years, this recording has served as the benchmark and has been widely acclaimed as a historic masterpiece. Upon its release, it received enthusiastic praise from Edward Greenfield, then chief critic of *Gramophone* magazine. Recorded in 1970 at Kingsway Hall in London with the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Andr Previn, these two great concertos catapulted the then 22-year-old Chung onto the world stage. Not only does her performance feature a wonderful blend of brilliance and freshness, but throughout both concertos, she masterfully conveys a wide range of emotionsfrom sorrow to love, triumph, and ultimately, deep resolve and strong will.Refinement
