About
This CD presents first recordings of two of Mackenzie’s concerted works for violin, the suite Pibroch also being scored for violin and orchestra. The word ‘pibroch’ is taken from bagpipe music where it denotes a classical style (usually in variation form) rather than the more usual ‘strathspey and reel’ type of dance music associated with the instrument. The Concerto, written for Sarasate and much played by him, dates from 1885; Pibroch from four years later.
‘As lovely and satisfying a concerto as I’ve been introduced to in a long while’ - American Record Guide
‘Stewart is the real red-blooded article, with a big sound and a bow that travels across the strings so fast that it must look like a blur in the concert hall. But not a single note is blurred or slighted here’ - Fanfare, USA
Vernon Handley conducts the Violin Concerto; David Davies conducts Pibroch.
