American Impressions
Rachel Kolly d'Alba (violin) / Orchestre National de la Pays de la Loire, John Axelrod

[ Warner Classics / CD ]

Release Date: Wednesday 20 August 2014

"We live in an age of phenomenal technical expertise, but only comparatively rarely does a player emerge who is so musically engaging that one barely notices the technical means involved. Rachel Kolly d'Alba is one of the gifted few who never lapses into interpretative rhetoric of cliche, but lives through the music as though it has taken her over." (Five Stars BBC Music)

"This is a fun album, worth hearing particularly for the terrific Bernstein performance" (International Record Review)

Tracks:

Bernstein:
Serenade (after Plato's 'Symposium')

Gershwin:
Porgy and Bess Fantasy

Waxman, F:
Carmen Fantasie for violin & orchestra
