It's handy to have two of the 20th century's greatest violin concertos together on one disc, especially in such fine performances. The somewhat astringent but dance-inspired Stravinsky, in his neo-classic mode, dates from 1931. Viktoria Mullova invests it with virtuoso flair, her lean tone perfectly fitting the brittle, skittish outer movements, broadening for the melodically rich Aria movements. The Bartok gets as committed a reading, Mullova playing with rhapsodic exuberance and the orchestra matching her for color and energy. Mullova sings the delicate lyrical theme that opens the Andante tranquillo movement with intense inwardness. Esa-Pekka Salonen's sympathetic conducting makes this a partnership to treasure.
