Stephane Grappelli & Yehudi Menuhin (violins), with Alan Clare Trio, etc
MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Menuhin & Grappelli Play Berlin, Kern, Porter and Rodgers & Hart [ EMI Classics / CD - released 22/Feb/1988 ] "The dialogue is seemingly spontaneous, and the tone is affectionate and bantering. Given the scaffolding of these wonderful songs, Grappelli and Menuhin build castles in the sky. You may wish to mix martinis before putting this CD on," ClassicalNet |

MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Arnold: Serenade / Sinfoniettas / Concerto for Two Violins San Diego Chamber Orchestra, Donald Barra, with Igor & Vesna Gruppman (violins) [ Koch International Classics / CD - released 5/Jun/1992 ] "This 90s release is fine example of the late, lamented Koch International and Malcolm Arnold. For someone not familiar with Arnold's music, this long out-of-print CD is a fine introduction (especially the Serenade for Small Orchestra)" Thomas Martin |

(BBC Music) |

LOUIS SPOHR
Spohr: Violin Duets Vol 1 Jameson Cooper, James Dickenson (violins) [ Naxos / CD - released 17/Jul/2018 ] "Jameson Cooper and James Dickenson combine on a new recording on the Naxos label, their playing dexterous, witty and nicely judged, the two instruments frequently required to swap roles in a delightfully playful interchange." The Observer |
MALCOLM ARNOLD

Gramophone Magazine: Editor's Choice - June 2017 |
HECTOR BERLIOZ
Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique (with Mark-Anthony Turnage: "Shadow Walker" Concerto) Vadim Repin, Daniel Hope (violins) / Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra, Sascha Goetzel [ Onyx / CD - released 1/Oct/2018 ] "Vadim Repin and Daniel Hope are, not surprisingly, ideally fluent, and the excellent Turkish players recreate Turnage's enigmatic soundworld with aplomb." BBC Music |
