Though the notion of a disc of violin encores may seem like a holdover from an earlier era that prized a performer's flash above taste, the idea is given new life in this 2008 Virgin release by French violinist Renaud Capuçon. Best known for his work with pianist Martha Argerich, the serious Capuçon might seem to some an unlikely candidate for a disc of flamboyant encores. But Capuçon is not a typical, serious violinist nor are these typical, flamboyant encores. Here, Capuçon has included favorites like Kreisler's Liebeslied and Dinicu's Hora staccato along with rarities like Stravinsky's Russian Song and Szymanowski's Roxanna's Song and so cannot be accused of sticking with safe standard repertoire. But whether the work is tried and true or fresh and new, Capuçon's playing makes it all sound vital and vivid. His phrasing in Schubert's Ave Maria floats the melody like a singer, his rhythm in Dvorák's Slavonic Dance drives the tempo like a dancer, and his effortless virtuosity in Poldini's Poupée valsante matches the finest players of the past. Best of all, Capuçon always sounds like himself and no one else. His combination of focused vibrato, smooth register shifts, and burning energy is wholly unique, and whether the work is familiar or unfamiliar, Capuçon makes it his own. Accompanied with sympathy by pianist Jérôme Ducros and recorded in detailed digital sound by Virgin, Capuçon's performances may thrill even jaded violin fans. ~ James Leonard, All Music Guide

Transcriptions are nothing to be ashamed of, but because there are no indications on the CD's cover that three of the four works here are new arrangements for string orchestra, Hänssler seems oddly reluctant to advertise the fact. The unsuspecting purchaser may be puzzled by the existence of a String Symphony No. 3 by Shostakovich, but this is really just a version for string orchestra of the String Quartet No. 3, Op. 73, as arranged by Dmitry Sitkovetsky, who has also reworked the youthful octet piece Prelude and Scherzo, Op. 11, and rearranged the Stravinsky/Dushkin violin and piano transcription of the Russian Song from Mavra. Only Stravinsky's Concerto in D appears as written. What this means to purists is anybody's guess, but Sitkovetsky is within his rights to enlarge the repertoire for his ensemble, the superb New European Strings, and adapting works for smaller string groupings seems a practical solution that does little harm to the composer's original intentions. Sitkovetsky's rendering of the String Quartet No. 3 is not garishly overblown or heavy-handed, and the feeling of Shostakovich's music is preserved in the arrangement's light textures and clarity. Some may miss the grit and penetrating quality of a quartet, but for that, there are several fine recordings available, and Sitkovetsky's alternate version, as enjoyable as it is, does not replace the original. The reproduction is excellent. ~ Blair Sanderson, All Music Guide
