Sergei Bortkiewicz: Violin Concerto/Othello tone poem [SACD HYBRID] stereo only

In exploring worthwhile but forgotten Russian repertoire, violinist Sergey Levitin's brilliant and expressive playing brings us Sergei Bortkiewicz's expansive Violin Concerto in D minor, full of Romantic ardour in the Grand Manner. Bortkiewicz came from a privileged background, but the political turmoil of Russia and Europe in the twentieth century saw him twice made homeless and finally settling in Austria. The Violin Concerto is coupled with the ambitious half-hour Symphonic poem Othello, a vivid and compelling musical tapestry encapsulating the essence of Shakespeare's tragedy, in which Desdemona's theme - a warmly harmonised melody for strings - is strongly reminiscent of Tchaikovsky.
