Feature around Niv Ashkenazi and NIV ASHKENAZI: VIOLINS OF HOPE
“This is an emotional album which will touch your heart, stir your soul and leave you in - or close to - tears.”
“Niv Ashkenazi’s interpretations clearly show the unique characteristics of each composer, and the violinist is deeply committed to each work. This results in exciting and extremely colourful interpretations, characterised by maturity and authority. The interpreter also shows himself to be technically outstanding: the well-considered bowing is paired with a healthy sense of rhythm, colours and dynamics, so that in an overall very lyrical and fluid tone a lot of expression is possible. In addition to virtuoso passages, the more intimate and melancholic pieces are particularly fascinating.”
