Adams & Korngold: Violin Concertos
With his 1993 violin concerto, John Adams set out to offer a contemporary take on the idea of melody. Russian violinist Ilya Gringolts brings Adams’ mysterious, pioneering lines into reality with this smart and illuminating album. Ideas bounce off each other as orchestral interjections converge with Gringolts’ frantic solos.
