Alan Bush Manoug Parikian - violin London Symphony Orchestra Medici String Quartet There can be no doubt that the Violin Concerto is a major achievement in a notoriously difficult genre. Though the music is continuous, the work is cast in three sections and is quite devoid of 'padding' or orchestral 'wizardry'. The solo part is indeed taxing, but the complexities arise out of the musical discourse and are not imposed on it for virtuoso effect, whilst the orchestral body is used sparingly, with telling and sensitive restraint.
