Acker / Kiss - Violin Concerto [COMPACT DISCS] date 04/06/2018

... a merry chase Hen Hunts Queen! - If you are captivated by this gimmick, you need not regret your weakness because what the Polish Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Wojciech Rajski, on a TACET recording, has to offer, is sparkling, finely-tuned Haydn. (NWZ)

A fascinating juxtaposition - the seven early toccatas of J.S. Bach are interweaved with the 6th of Peter Seabourne's nine InchStepsInch cycles, the concept of renowned Bach player, Konstantin Lifschitz. Far from the Romantic toccata style, these canvases are multi-sectional kaleidoscopes of texture and tempi - each a miniature world encompassing virtuosity, intimacy and narrative. In the masterly hands of Lifschitz the result is a monumental journey of extraordinary invention. Konstantin Lifschitz has established a worldwide reputation for performing extraordinary feats of endurance with honesty and persuasive beauty. He is giving recitals and playing concertos in the world's leading concert halls and orchestras, besides being an active recording artist. His performance was praised as Inchthe most magical momentInch and Inchdeeply satisfyingInch by The Independent, and Inchnaturally expressive and grippingInch by the New York Times.
