Stanford: Suite for Violin and Orchestra Op 32 / Violin Concerto in D major Op 74

"This is a discovery of major importance. Hubert Parry (no mean critic) regarded Stanford's Violin Concerto as one of his finest works, yet it has been played rarely, if at all, since his death in 1924. First-class orchestral playing, sympathetically conducted, and a recording that's both clean and spacious. A first recording for the Violin Concerto, and a performance unlikely to be bettered. Anthony Marwood is the impassioned soloist" 2001 GRAMOPHONE AWARD FINALIST - Concerto
