‘The First Concerto’s opening here is vigorous and cleanly etched, with detailed recording, almost wrong-footing you into expecting a speedy, gritty first movement. But the impeccably judged slowing into the first violin entry leads ineluctably to the sensuous world of Szymanowski’s imagination.’ Martin Cotton
