“The Andante can be heard as a lament on the situation of Europe as a whole, especially in Joshua Bell’s refined and ultra-sensitive interpretation … A jewel of the album, the piece deserves to enter the standard repertoire through the grand entrance.

Matt Haimovitz brings a wildly intense and elegant touch to the solo part, magnificently supported by the musicians of the MDR Leipzig and their conductor, Dennis Russell Davies.”
