Free Music Review: Delicious Music from a French Composer and a French Violinist
Hit: 5 Stars

Philippe Graffin's pleasing violin-tone is very effective in these concerto. The natural recording balance allows him to revel in the expert construction of Saint-Saëns' three violin concertos.

The Violin Concerto No. 2 in C, Op. 58 was actually written first (in 1858 but published much later). It is a testimony to the consistent musical maturity of its about 23-year old composer.

The Violin Concerto No. 1 in A, Op. 20 was written a year later in 1859. It is a single movement in the fashion of Saint-Saëns' Cello Concerto No. 1, with three sections strung together most engagingly. The middle section of the concerto is given much feeling by Graffin. (The three sections are tracked separately.)

The Violin Concerto No. 3 in B minor, Op. 61, written in 1880, is naturally the most mature work on the disc, but is no less full of life or the ability to please. The final tarantella movement is particularly absorbing.

Overall, this is a disc of considerable character and charm, demonstrating the immense skill of the music's performers and composer marvelously. They are given excellent sound by Hyperion, which also obliges with thorough liner notes. This is an enjoyable must for the Saint-Saëns fan.
