On this new recording, Vladimir Jurowski conducts Alina Ibragimova and the State Symphony Orchestra of Russia.

“If there’s one factor above all that sets these performances apart it’s the osmosis between soloist and conductor. There’s a musical and intellectual friction going on here and it has to do with the balance between head and heart … Ibragimova’s playing has an unvarnished truth about it. It’s the kind of playing that looks you unblinkingly in the eye and tells it like it is.” - Gramophone
