“Anyone who thrills to the sound of the Khachaturian Concerto will find the Sainsbury especially conducive, while the Wood should appeal to those drawn to Delius and the virtuosity of Wieniawski. Lorraine McAslan soars aloft in both concertos, shading her ecstatic cantabile with portamentos reminiscent of Jascha Heifetz – indeed at times Heifetz’s classic West Coast recordings of the 1950s are brought irresistibly to mind.” Julian Haylock, BBC Music Magazine, October 2010
