Two romantic works in the best sense of the term occupy centre stage on this new recording. Han Pfitzner did not always hit the right note in his cultural/political comments and Siegfried Wagner never completely succeeded in emerging from the shadow of his father Richard, but it is frequently overlooked that both composers nevertheless produced excellent music. The celebrated Slovakian violinist, Juraj Cizmarovic, performs these two concertos with absolute mastery, augmented by the beautiful Träume from Richard Wagner’s Wesendonck lieder.
