Living in America, yet yearning for his native Hungary, Rózsa took a momentary step away from Hollywood to write a violin concerto that sings, dances and positively smoulders. This rare performance of his \u003cem\u003eViolin Concerto\u003c\/em\u003e shows that even without the pictures, his music can hold an audience spellbound.\r\n\r\nTaking center stage for this recording is London Symphony Orchestra Leader, Roman Simovic, who joined the Orchestra in 2010. His virtuosity and musicality have taken him throughout all continents, performing as soloist with world-leading orchestras and conductors.\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003e\"It is fiery; it is passionate—it is Tchaikovsky on steroids. And you could not have asked for a better advocate than Roman Simovic throughout the entire concerto. The work very much suits his Ukrainian temperament and his mastery of the concerto's technical challenges was exceptional. I cannot recall being so mesmerised by a performance for a very long time.\"\u003c\/em\u003e – Seen and Heard International\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003e\"There were no downsides to the LSO casting its leader Roman Simovic as soloist in Miklós Rózsa's Violin Concerto.\"\u003c\/em\u003e – The Strad\r\n\r\nThe accompanying work on this album is by Rózsa's fellow Hungarian, Béla Bartók, whose passionate \u003cem\u003eViolin Concerto No. 2\u003c\/em\u003e was known simply as his Violin Concerto throughout his life. His other concerto, written two decades earlier, was only published after the composer's death.\r\n\r\nThe London Symphony Orchestra frequently invites its members into the solo spotlight, and this album joins the ranks of other widely lauded recordings by principal players of the LSO, including Mozart's Oboe, Clarinet and Horn Concertos, Stravinsky's Ebony Concerto, and Paganini's 24 Caprices.\r\n\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eSir Simon Rattle, Conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eKevin John Edusei, Conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoman Simovic, Violin\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eLondon Symphony Orchestra\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n*Rózsa was recorded live in DSD 256 while Bartók was recorded live in 24bit 96kHz PCM.","brand":"LSO Live","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741115265348,"sku":"LSO0886-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741115298116,"sku":"LSO0886-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741115330884,"sku":"LSO0886-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741115363652,"sku":"LSO0886-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741115396420,"sku":"LSO0886-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741115429188,"sku":"LSO0886-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 32 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56741115461956,"sku":"LSO0886-35","price":28.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56741115494724,"sku":"LSO0886-36","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56741115527492,"sku":"LSO0886-39","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56741115560260,"sku":"LSO0886-43","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":56741115593028,"sku":"LSO0886-44","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57343029248324,"sku":"LSO0886-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":57343029281092,"sku":"LSO0886S1443","price":28.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":57343029313860,"sku":"LSO0886S1543","price":30.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5.1ch Surround","offer_id":57343029346628,"sku":"LSO0886S1639","price":34.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/LSO0886.jpg?v=1778500188","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/lso0886-rozsa-violin-concerto-bartok-violin-concerto-no-2","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
