Violin Concertos / Romances on CD

Following on the heels of the Billboard chart-topping Violin Lullabies, Rachel Barton Pine joins forces with Germany's distinguished Gottinger Symphonie Orchester and it's acclaimed principal conductor, Christoph-Mathias Mueller to present Mendelssohn's celebrated violin concerto alongside the great, though lesser-known, concerto by Robert Schumann. The Chicago Tribune praised Pine's performance of Mendelssohn's concerto saying, 'The Mendelssohn is one of those fiddle war horses that every young soloist plays but few can play as beautifully as (Pine). Without resorting to any musical distortion, she invested the thrice-familiar phrase with a lyrical grace that seemed newly minted.'
