Liya Petrova (violin), Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Duncan Ward, Adam Laloum (piano)
Liya Petrova presents here the first instalment of a double diptych, featuring two rarely recorded works: Walton’s Violin Concerto (1938) with a prestigious British orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Duncan Ward, and Respighi’s Violin Sonata (1917) with her regular keyboard partner Adam Laloum.
The shimmering harmonic palette and the vigorously phrased lyricism of these two works respond almost instinctively to each other and make them a natural coupling.
Liya Petrova’s new recording of Walton’s Violin Concerto grips you from the outset. Her phrasing of the opening material ideally combines singing tone with subtle inflections of pulse and dynamic, the phrasing supple and pleasingly coherent...Both these performances mark Petrova out as an exceptional talent.
The response of the young Bulgarian violinist Liya Petrova is testament to the way in which this beautiful concerto has become more of an ‘international’ staple.
