The highly anticipated second instalment in Gil Shaham’s acclaimed 1930s Violin Concertos project. Volume 2 draws on two pillars of the violin concerto repertoire, Bartók and Prokofiev’s second violin concertos. These two concertos have played a role in Gil’s life for over 30 years; he first played the Prokofiev publicly with the Israel Sinfonietta on a tour of the USA when he was just 13 years old, learning the concerto from an edition of the score containing David Oistrakh’s fingerings. Gil adds, ‘‘I have really cherished the conversations I have had discussing these scores with legendary violinists Isaac Stern and Yehudi Menuhin who recounted conversations they had with the Prokofiev and Bartók respectively’’. These experiences combined with the countless collaborations Gil has enjoyed with insightful conductors has him looking at the music differently. Gil has recorded both works before, to much acclaim, but over time he explains, ‘‘things grow in your head, the way you feel about the music changes’’.
