Info for Elgar: Violin Concerto & Salut d'amour - Delius: Suite

"Wenn Sie wissen wollen, wer für mich der größte lebende Komponist ist, sage ich es Ihnen ohne zu zögern - es ist Elgar, den ich auf eine Stufe mit meinen Idolen Beethoven und Brahms stelle! Das sagte der große Virtuose Kreisler“. Nicolas Dautricourt fährt fort: "Dieses Konzert mit seiner ungezügelten Lyrik und seinen einzigartigen Proportionen ist ein Everest für jeden Geiger“. In seiner ersten Einspielung für Channel Classics vereint der französische Geiger drei Werke von zwei englischen Komponisten. 1888, im selben Jahr, in dem Elgar den berühmten „Salut d'amour“ für seine Verlobte Caroline Alice Roberts schrieb, komponierte Frederick Delius seine Suite für Violine und Orchester, eines seiner allerersten Werke. Die Suite, die erst 1984 uraufgeführt wurde, ist hier in einer einfühlsamen Bearbeitung von Frédéric Chaslin für Violine, Klavier und Streichquartett zu hören.
