    NIKOLAJ ZNAIDER: BRAHMS/KORNGOLD VIOLIN CONCERTOS.

    Znaider, a 32-year- old Danish violinist, is backed in this RCA recording by unmovable forces, those
    being conductor Valery Gergiev and the Vienna Philharmonic. To give some perspective, Gergiev is a
    manic, interpretive machine when he conducts, and the Vienna Philharmonic is considered one of the
    finest in the world. Add into the already high-end variables a performer with the zeal of Znaider, and
    you have a set of perfect conditions. Znaider kneads into the thick orchestral textures of the Brahms
    while showing off plenty of panache and virtuosity. The Korngold is even stronger; a lesser-known work
    that's as sensitive as it is powerful, lyrical as it is fun, and Znaider proves exactly why Gergiev and the
    Vienna Philharmonic chose to record with him.
