Following Maxim Vengerov's performance of the repertoire on this release with the young UBS Verbier Festival Chamber Orchestra players to an ecstatic BBC Proms audience in August 2006, the Financial Times called Vengerov "outstanding", whilst The Independent remarked that "his super-refined sound and sweetness at the top of the instrument were, as ever, awe-inspiring." For the first time on disc as a concerto soloist this release sees Maxim Vengerov in the role of director guiding the orchestra from the violin. Without the addition of a conductor there is an intimacy in the interpretation of these pieces which makes this a particularly special recording. For the Sinfonia Concertante Maxim Vengerov is joined by the young British viola player Lawrence Power, who is rapidly taking his place alongside such eminent artists as Yuri Bashmet and Tabea Zimmermann as a world-class viola soloist.
