Description:

Fumiaki Miura is one of the best young Japanese violinists both in name and reality. This is Miura's second concerto album, recorded in Moscow with the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra (formerly the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra), a prestigious orchestra that has maintained its reputation since the former Soviet era. Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No. 1, which requires extreme difficulty in both technique and musicality, was performed by the orchestra for the first time with Denis Lotoyev, the most prodigious conductor of Russian talents. The filler pieces are four frequently performed pieces from Khachaturian's ballet "Gaîne," which is one of the orchestra's "18th favorites" and features the virtuosity of the orchestra's virtuoso players.
