Viktoria Mullova

Recorded in Tallinn in the presence of the composer, the album is devoted to the complete music for violin & orchestra by Arvo Pärt. Viktoria is accompanied by the Estonian National Symphony conducted by Paavo Järvi .

Viktoria Mullova's new CD is an all Prokofiev affair - the second Violin Concerto, with long term musical collaborator Paavo Jarvi, and the Sonata for 2 Violins where she is joined by Tedi Papravami, plus the Solo Violin Sonata. All the works were recorded live, with no retakes and the playing is electrifying. This is Viktoria's second recording of the concerto. It is one of her favourite concertos, and her approach to the work has changed greatly since she made the early recording for Philips - a recording she admits to being unhappy with.

"This is music like a warm breeze with an easygoing lyricism at its heart.”

“Mullova’s bow dances across the strings with a virtuosity and panache few could match.”
