Editorial Reviews
Album Description
These historic performances, recorded by The New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation, are being released for the first time through an agreement between the NZBC and Bridge Records. Recorded during Sir William Walton's seven concert New Zealand tour in 1964, this two disc set is being sold for the discounted price of one CD. The first CD opens with Walton leading a magisterial ‘God Save the Queen' and segues into an impassioned reading of his romantic Violin Concerto. Walton was reportedly ‘overjoyed' to be working again with the American violinist Berl Senofsky, who had performed the concerto under his baton with the New York Philharmonic and Chicago Symphony Orchestras. Walton's sparkling Partita is given an exhilarating reading to bring the first CD to its conclusion. Disc B is given over to a major composition–Walton's Symphony No. 1. As encores, Disc B concludes with two short string orchestra pieces from Walton's historic Henry V film collaboration with Laurence Olivier.

Customer Reviews:
Stunning performance.......2004-09-21
I bought this album for the violin concerto. Having long been an admirer of Berl Senofsky, I was eager to hear him in his prime, playing this work with the composer himself conducting. To say the least, I was not disappointed. The performance showcases one of America's great violinists at the peak of his form, delivering a knockout performance of one of the most challenging concertos in the repertoire. It should be required listening for every young violinist who thinks that playing a lot of fast notes is the way to a career. In Senofsky's hands, every note, and there are lots of them, have meaning and purpose. He was a singular artist and this recording should not be missed!
