Maria Duenas' Debut Album, the Beethoven Violin Concerta
The debut album of Spanish violinist Maria Duenas, playing the Beethoven violin concerta with the Vienna Symphony and conductor Montfort Honig. The orchestra is really quite special in this recording, I think they are really elevating her sound and bringing this concerto to life. Her phrasing is also interesting, she's weaving together these notes into words and into sentences as one would expect but she's connecting phrases very clearly across larger segments of the music. This just feels like a really fun Scottish dance.
