Simone Lamsma, ARTIST OF THE WEEK – NAXOS 30 June 2006
Simone Lamsma, soloist
Violin Recital: Simone Lamsma (New Release 8.557984)
Simone took First Prize in the first Benjamin Britten International Volin Competition (held in London in 2004). One of the prizes was to make a Naxos recording. Here it is. It’s devoted to Elgar, the ardour-filled Sonata and numerous yummy short pieces such as Song of Morni Song of Night and Sa/ut d Heartfeft, mahogany-rich playing.
