Digital Booklet

"Best of the Year. Alsop’s performance is magnificent, exquisitely capturing the intended mood. Special kudos to the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Marin Alsop for vibrant, idiomatic interpretations of these scores ..."
- Audiophile Audition
"... an energetic rendition of Souvenirs and a sensitive reading of Barber’s very rarely heard Serenade for Strings … clear, well-balanced sound with excellent depth and a wide (but not irrational) dynamic range ... a worthy addition ..."
- ClassicsToday.com
"All of this music, not just the inspired Violin Concerto, played here with easy authority and sensitive detailing by the virtuosic American violinist Buswell, touches the listener with its melodic flow and emotional confidence ... Alsop coaxes a full range of dynamics and orchestra colours from the accomplished Scottish ensemble."
- Los Angeles Times
This is the third volume in a six album series of the complete orchestral works of Barber, from conductor Marin Alsop and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. A Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Solo Performance with Orchestra went to violinist James Buswell in 2003 for his brilliant solo work here. Rounding out the programme are Barber's Souvenirs (Ballet Suite) and Serenade for Strings.
