I’m hearing a genuinely distinctive, individual voice which is far from eccentric. The disc opens with Ravel’s Second Violin Sonata, which instantly grabs attention with its beauty of tone, polish and range of colours...The folk-reminiscent exoticism of Enescu’s Sonata No 3 is another perfect vehicle for Tishchenko’s dramatic predilections and vast colouristic palette.

This arresting, imaginatively-programmed debut from the Ukrainian violinist (who won the 2018 Long Thibaud Crespin Competition in Paris last year, and here explores the connections between four composers who lived and worked in the city) establishes her as a major talent; her lean, low-cholesterol approach to the Ravel sonata rather reminded me of Alina Ibragimova, and she’s fully alive to the folk influences in Enescu’s Sonata ‘dans le caractère populaire roumain’.
