Glazunov & Schoeck: Works for Violin and Orchestra

“Chloe Hanslip gives both concertos agile, nicely contained performances, even if the orchestral support under Alexander Vedernikov is rather undistinguished” --The Guardian, February 2013 ***

'A spry, tenderly phrased performance of Glazunov's delightful concerto launches the first part of Chloë Hanslip's impressively played programme, with the addition of two exquisite miniatures … Hanslip and the Swiss/Italian orchestra respond well to the Schoeck concerto's late-Romantic language and voice it with discreet passion' --The Daily Telegraph

'Perhaps as an “offspring” of her tutelage under the Russian pedagogue Zakhar Bron and iconoclast violinist Ida Haendel, Ms. Hanslip harbors an acquired affection for these two composers, bringing to the infrequent Schoeck Concerto (1910-1911) a rare commitment and resonant vitality. Much of Hanslip’s playing of the music of Glazounov hearkens back to the artistry of Nathan Milstein, whose fondness and natural expertise in the Glazounov Violin Concerto (1904) and Meditation (1891) possessed an equally illumined elegance. In terms of lyric outpouring, the one-movement concerto provides a fluid, singing vehicle for Hanslip' --Audiophile Audition, USA
