About

Violinist Philippe Graffin couples his recording of Britten’s bittersweet Violin Concerto (Philharmonia Orchestra/Nicholas Collon) with Delius’s Violin Concerto (RSNO/David Lloyd-Jones), the latter given special resonance by being played from the perspective of Albert Sammons’s extensively marked playing copy of the solo part. To both works, Graffin brings a personal view and warmly expressive playing.

The programme is completed by a world premiere recording of Robin Milford’s delightful The Darkling Thrush for violin and orchestra (RSNO/David Lloyd-Jones), a sort of wintertime 'Lark Ascending' after a Thomas Hardy poem. Dating from 1928, this gloriously atmospheric piece proves to be a worthwhile discovery that all enthusiasts for inter-war English orchestral music will want to explore.

Recorded: 2014
