I wasn’t expecting Rachel Barton Pine to be such a persuasive advocate for Khachaturian’s much-maligned Violin Concerto. She’s not a flashy player, and – let’s face it – this is one of the flashiest of concertos. Instead, her success here comes from purely her musicianship, which is utterly unaffected. There are no virtuoso tricks, no swooping, swooning or mooning; she just plays it honestly.
