More Info:

This Album was a Critics' Choice in Gramophone in 1993 when it was released on the Koch Label. The review was rapturous; "This Concerto is probably Rozsa's most celebrated concert work: it's impassioned romanticism remains wonderfully enthralling... Theme, Variations & Finale was inspired by a wistful melody and helped to make Rozsa's international reputation... Rozsa's rhapsodic intensity and dramatic shading would soon lead to a remarkable career in Hollywood... Vintner's Daughter, a picturesque set of variations, again shows the composer's melodic appeal and he uses the orchestral palette as seductively as in his film music"
