Editorial Reviews

This album marks Italian violinist Francesca Dego's debut orchestral recording on Deutsche Grammophon. It features two Italian masterpieces: Wolf-Ferrari's seldom-performed Violin Concerto and Paganini's renowned Violin Concerto Number 1, which celebrates its 200th anniversary this year. Francesca recorded Wolf-Ferrari's concerto when she gave the UK premiere of the piece at Symphony Hall with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the renowned Italian conductor Daniele Rustioni.

    Today’s Recording Engineers have a warped idea about “Concert Hall Realism”' the problem is that I don’t live in a Concert Hall, I live in an Apartment. The result is that, as for so many recent violin concerto recordings, I can’t barely hear the violin soloist; and, out of consideration for my neighbors there are limits as to how high I can turn up the volume. This was not a problem when I grew up in the era of properly audible recordings by Francescatti, Milstein, Heifetz, Martzy, Grumiaux, the all too few recorded performances of Jeanette Nevu, and others of that era. The last violinist known to me who fought the engineers and made sure that his fans could hear him playing in the violin concerto recordings that they purchased was Izsak Pearlman. I regret the purchase of many violin concerto recordings by artists younger than Mr Pearlman for that reason, including this one.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Due concerti da ascoltare, solista e direttore da tenere d'occhio.
    Reviewed in Italy on January 24, 2018
    Supportata da un orchestra superba, Francesca Dego esegue due concerti per violino, uno piu' popolare, almeno in disco, dove si sente l'influenza dell'opera lirica coeva, anche nei brani virtuosistici. L'altro inedito dove, anche se attenuata rispetto ad altre composizioni dell'autore, si rivela la nostalgia di Venezia e la velata inquetudine del tempo in cui fu scritto. Un po' di pace in un mondo sconvolto, in un autore che doveva lottare con la propria origine, abbastanza italiano con radici germaniche. Nel suo genere due capolavori godibilissimi in una incisione ottima. Che sia la risurrezione della Deutsche Grammophon?
