愛的禮讚(最愛的小提琴名曲集) 朴 Sueye 小提琴 Salut d'amour – Sueye Park, violin

SueyeParkintroduced herself to the general public in 2017 with no less a calling-card than Paganini's 24 Caprices for solo violin. On the present disc, the South-Korean violinist (born in 2000) has a pianist at her side, namely Love Derwinger, himself known from a number of recordings. The repertoire is also a more varied offering this time, with violin favourites such as Elgar's tender Salutd'amourand Tchaikovsky's Melodie, as well as more virtuosic fare, for instance in the fireworks of Wieniawski's Scherzo-Tarantelle.

Sueyealso includes two solo works on the disc: Ernst's much-loved Last Roseand –in a nod to her previous disc –Paganiniana, Nathan Milstein's fantasy on themes by Paganini. Performed with equal measures of poetic sensitivity and effortless virtuosity, this is a recital to dip into as well as to listen to from start to finish –from the fiery passion of Pablo de Sarasate'sIntroduction et Tarantelleto Contemplation, Heifetz' transcription of Brahms's song Wie Melodienziehtesmir.
