About

Hyperion’s Romantic Violin Concerto series returns with three real rarities, rescuing them from their current neglect. All receive the strongest advocacy from Linus Roth, who plays them like the repertoire standards they may one day become.

Reviews

October 2019

The D major Concerto by Lassen is the real find here, gorgeously melodious and full o unexpected twists and turns. Roth is on fine form.

July 2019

The BBC Scottish Symphony under Antony Hermus, who has made something of a specialty of the romantic literature, plays with great sympathy and sense of colour.

May 2019

The ebullient, tuneful opening of Eduard Lassen’s D major Concerto from 1888 put a smile on all my colleagues’ faces, and the lovely cantabile slow movement of the Scharwenka (composed six years later) lodged itself firmly in my head after just one listening. Langgaard’s much later single-movement work (clocking in at just ten minutes) is also a treat, particularly the sparkling sparring between soloist and piano.

19th May 2019

Roth plays with almost missionary zeal, he and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, under Antony Hermus, making a convincing case for these works to be more widely performed.

July 2019

Take the infectious energy and clear architecture the orchestra brings to the first movement from the off, and then the equally committed lithe, sunny lyricism with which Roth himself then joins the party.

classicalsource.com June 2019

Throughout, Linus Roth is the master of his craft, at-one with the three Concertos, and benefiting from alert and sympathetic support from Antony Hermus and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, all rounded by Andrew Keener’s exemplary production, Simon Eadon’s first-class sound and an informative booklet note.
