About

After Liya Petrova won joint first prize at the 2016 Carl Nielsen International Violin Competition, jury President Nikolaj Znaider declared he had been 'absolutely blown away by how she had absorbed the Nielsen violin concerto - how it had become hers'. From her debut album on Orchid Classics you can hear just why she made such an impression on those who heard her performance. The Strad praised the 'iron will' Petrova brought to Nielsen's concerto; a fortitude which is matched on this recording by the sensitivity in her approach to the first violin concerto of Sergei Prokofiev.

Co-winner of the 2016 Carl Nielsen competition, Liya Petrova turns in a stylish performance of the concerto that brought her success.

November 2018

Petrova plays with exceptional tonal variety. But what impresses me most, perhaps, si the way she binds phrases together…The Odense Symphony Orchestra play with confidence and character under Kristiina Poska, and seem as absorbed in their music-making as Petrova, particularly in the Prokofiev. A marvellous disc.

30th September 2018

A pleasing pairing: Nielsen’s huge two-movement concerto, offering everything from romantic voluptuousness to matter-of-fact joviality, and Prokofiev’s First Concerto, with lyrical outer movements that mark a departure from the composer’s earlier, brittler self. The young Bulgarian Petrova, makes a gorgeous sound — ripe and silvery, phrasing with majestic breadth — and is ably supported by the Danish orchestra under Poska.

Classical Music November 2018

[Nielsen] Petrova makes the finest possible case for hearing this wonderful piece on a regular basis. Her cadenza is staggeringly good, while the first movement is intensely lyrical: she sings with her violin. She moves into Prokofiev’s language like a chameleon; the Scherzo is elfin. The high recording quality unobtrusively supports the interpretative level.
