Composer:
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Artist(s):
Ray Chen

Conductor:
Daniel Harding

Background: Following the critical success of his solo album 'Virtuoso' for which Ray Chen received the prestigious German Echo Klassik Award 2011 and outstanding reviews, Sony Classical releases the young violinist's first concerto-recording on the label. On this release Ray combines the Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn violin concertos.

Both works have played a significant role in Ray's career so far. His superb interpretation of these works led to his triumph at two major violin competitions – in 2008 he won the Yehudi Menuhin Competition performing the Mendelssohn Concerto, followed by first prize in the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition in Brussels a year later, with the Tchaikovsky Concerto.

Ray brings a fresh interpretation to these cornerstones of the violin repertoire and finds a kindred spirit in Daniel Harding and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra – their youthful performance displaying zest and energy.
