A stunning new disc in the Naxos American Classics series featuring the young virtuoso violinist Chloë Hanslip performing John Adams' Violin Concerto with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Leonard Slatkin.

The works on this disc offer a broad survey of American violin music. John Adams' now popular Violin Concerto (1993) is a virtuosic masterpiece. Adams’ aim was to create a work in which the violin could sing constantly throughout. The singing quality of the violin solo is characterized by the dream-like chaconne in Part II, yet the work is as notable for the dazzling technical pyrotechnics demanded of the soloist.

John Corigliano's Chaconne is a set of variations based on his music for the 1998 film The Red Violin. George Enescu's Romanian Rhapsody No. 1 is a nineteenth-century fantasia on a traditional melody, here in an arrangement by the Hollywood film composer Franz Waxman. Waxman's own Tristan and Isolde Fantasia includes a demanding obbligato piano part, and originally formed and emotional climax to the 1946 film Humoresque.
