Lea Birringer’s first concerto recording is a fascinating combination of the well known with a delightful concerto that does not deserve the obscurity to which it has been consigned.Christian Sinding (1856-1941) composed his concerto 1898. It proved a great success, so its neglect today is difficult to understand. It is certainly demanding on the soloist, but also flatters them. Full of memorable tunes and with brilliant use of the orchestra, this is a cleverly constructed work that deserves to be better known.The later Romance published in 1910 is a wonderfully tender, romantic piece similar to those by Bruch or Dvořák. Mendelssohn’s evergreen concerto of 1845 occupies a place in the pantheon of great violin concertos. It was to be his last orchestral composition (a 3rd piano concerto remained unfinished), and represents perfection – playing without a break, it has many surprises, not least the entry of the soloist after a bar of accompaniment.

Franz Liszt forms not only the centre point of Lea & Eather Birringer’s recital, he also is the central figure that draws together Grieg– of whom he was very supportive, and Cesar Franck, whose development of germinal motifs to create large scale complex movements was a direct influence of the Hungarian master.

In contrast to their debut album of sonatas by Franck & Grieg, violinist Lea Birringer with her pianist sister Esther offer a sparkling virtuosic recital of some of the most famous showpieces for violin and piano in the repertoire.
From serious to light-hearted, these works are a test of a violinist’s technical prowess as well as being great fun to listen to, especially when performed with such artistry as displayed on this new album.

Lothar von Knorr’s Partita from 1946 will most likely be a discovery for most listeners. Her programme also includes works by Reger and Ysa”ye.
