Tasmin Little's "Moszkowski & Karłowicz: Violin Concertos" is a captivating journey through the romantic and expressive world of violin concertos. Released on April 1, 2004, under the Hyperion label, this album showcases Little's virtuosity and emotional depth as she interprets the works of two lesser-known but equally brilliant composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The album features three concertos in total, two by Moszkowski and one by Karłowicz. The Violin Concerto in A Major, Op. 8 by Moszkowski opens the album with its Allegro moderato, followed by a tender Romanza and a lively Vivace assai. Little's playing is both delicate and powerful, capturing the essence of each movement. The Violin Concerto in C Major, Op. 30 by Karłowicz is a tour de force, with its Allegro comodo, Andante, and Vivace movements showcasing Little's technical prowess and musical sensitivity.
In addition to the concertos, the album also includes Moszkowski's Ballade in G Minor, Op. 16 No. 1, a piece that highlights Little's ability to convey deep emotion and drama. The entire album is a testament to Little's artistry and her commitment to bringing these lesser-known works to life.
With a duration of 1 hour and 12 minutes, this album is a perfect addition to any classical music lover's collection. Tasmin Little's interpretation of these concertos is a must-listen for anyone interested in the romantic and expressive world of violin concertos.
