Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky - Tchaikovsky/Stravinsky: Violin Concertos

In recording this album, Yossif Ivanov said, 'Pairing Tchaikovsky and Stravinsky's violin concertos on an album seems a somewhat strange choice, but to me it was an obvious one. Both Russian concertos are composed in D Major, probably inspired by the violin concerto par excellence, namely Beethoven's concerto. They are (and will remain) a statement within the repertoire, both instrumentally and compositionally, a clear transition between old and new, and after all this time, they remain as brilliant as they are refreshing.'
