Review by Amanda Bartlett

The Scottish Fantasy Concerto No 1 and Concerto No 5 album by Heifetz Bruch Vieuxtemps New Symphony Orchestra Of London, conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent, is a stunning classical masterpiece that showcases the brilliance of these talented musicians. The album features two of the most iconic concertos of all time, which have been masterfully interpreted by the orchestra and soloist.

The album opens with the Scottish Fantasy Concerto No 1, which is a beautiful blend of traditional Scottish melodies and classical music. Heifetz's virtuosic performance on the violin is simply breathtaking, and the New Symphony Orchestra Of London's accompaniment is perfectly balanced and nuanced. The orchestra's interpretation of the Scottish folk tunes is especially noteworthy, as they capture the essence of the music and infuse it with their own unique style.

The second half of the album features the Concerto No 5, which is a more traditional concerto that highlights the technical prowess of the soloist. Heifetz's performance is flawless, as he effortlessly navigates the complex and challenging passages of the piece. The New Symphony Orchestra Of London's accompaniment is equally impressive, as they provide a solid foundation for the soloist to shine.
