	Oregon Symphony: Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Despite the harsh criticism, Barber's music was well-received during his lifetime and today this concerto is one of the most played of all violin concerti.
		Barber revised the work in 1948 and the version which is known to audiences today was first performed in January 1949 with violinist Ruth Posselt and the Boston Symphony under the direction of Serge Koussevitsky.
		Barber provided his own description of the work for the premiere concert in 1941: "The first movement—allegro molto moderato—begins with a lyrical first subject announced at once by the solo violin, without any orchestral introduction.

	Samuel Barber and William Walton - Violin Concertos - A Good-Music-Guide Review
		Samuel Barber's Violin Concerto Opus 14 is a work that bursts with youth.
		He had already achieved recognition with some small-scale orchestral works, but a violin concerto, that most romantic of forms, was to be his big success.
		And like Barber's Concerto, the Violin Concerto in B minor by Walton has a beautiful floating quality, but not without complex rhythms and great demands on the soloist.

		This is the third Barber disc in the American Series currently being recorded by Naxos, using Scottish forces under the leadership of the highly talented Marin Alsop.
		Barber's Violin Concerto enjoys an enormous popularity and deservedly so as its melodies are gloriously romantic.
		The sound of the violin is not actually that bad, but for the epitome of a modern romantic concerto, there are many better examples available.

		The concerto, commissioned early in 1939 by the Philadelphia soap and solvents tycoon Samuel Fels (remember Fels Naphtha?) for performance by his adopted son, Iso Briselli, was begun during a visit to Switzerland in that year.
		With war imminent, however, Barber returned to the U.S. It was during his homeward voyage in September that Germany invaded Poland.
		Barber, at the instigation of Mary Curtis Bok, founder of the Curtis Institute — on whose faculty Barber, himself an alumnus, served — arranged for a private performance for Fels by a Curtis student, Herbert Baumel.

		The Walton is the real jewel of this CD for me. This little played concerto was written for Heifetz and has suffered from undeserved neglect ever since as it is not really the type of flashy concerto that many virtuosi love to dazzle their audiences with.
		Were Barber alive today, he'd probably want to listen to Joshua Bell.
		The Barber is okay, though the second movement is awfully schmaltzy, and the third movement is indeed mechanical.

		These are two of the greatest violin concertos ever written, separated chronologically by not much time, but worlds apart in sound and color.
		The lyrical passages of the Barber, on the other hand, are so full of vulgar swells and cheesy slides that I couldn't even listen all the way through the first movement.

		Barber seemed just to write music, and, in so doing, became controversial, someone to be attacked or defended.
		There is nothing in a Barber piece that instantly proclaims the composer, as a Copland, Ralph Vaughan Williams, or Sergei Prokofieff work surely does.
		The violin concerto (1939) is a transitional work: the first two movements sing sweetly and intently; the last movement burns the barn down with complex meters and new dissonances.

		Samuel Barber (1910-1981) won the Prix de Rome and twice was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Music.
		Virgil Thomson has described the composer as a producer of "elegant neo-romanticism," but in his discipline and use of traditional forms, Barber could also be considered something of a classicist.
		The Violin Concerto, with its angular lines and diatonic dissonance in the last movement, demonstrated that Barber had broadened his scope of artistic choices by incorporating elements more in common with contemporary idioms.

	Timewarp
		Barber first entered the Curtis Institute at the age of 14 shortly after its formation.
		Barber's international stature was confirmed, however, in 1938 by Toscanini's patronage.
		To set this moment in the context of other points upon which I shall elaborate further, this broadcast was just one year after the Schumann Violin Concerto had finally received its première, eighty four years after its composition, thanks to the persistence of Sir Edward Elgar's friend, Jelly d'Aranyi (1895-1966).

		From James Buswell's opening notes in the Violin Concerto, we know that all is going to be well with this recording.
		I don't know a bad recording of this concerto, but with music-making this atmospheric and Naxos's budget prices, it is easy to favor this new one.
		Barber wrote Music for a Scene from Shelley in Italy when he was in his early 20s.

	Sound judgment - Samuel Barber, William Walton
		Considering the acceptance Samuel Barber's neo-Romantic 1940 "Violin Concerto" has found in the concert hall, it's surprising to find only 10 versions listed in the current Schwann catalog.
		He's liberal with expressive slides, which, coupled with his refined elegance and sweet-no-matter-what tone, suggest a bygone era of violin playing.
		Otherwise, your choice comes down to a preference in coupling -- Bell's Walton Concerto and Bloch's "Baal Shem" on the one hand or John Kimura Parker's gutsy and nuanced performance of Barber's "Piano Concerto" on the other.

		The Violin Concerto is the only also-ran, and not because it is a bad performance – just a less than fully persuasive one.

		Like most casual listeners to classical music, I had heard very little Barber apart from that ubiquitous Adagio, and I wasn't sure what I was going to get.
		The Violin Concerto comes across as a "serious" piece, while the "Souvenirs" is almost like a set of pastiches.
		Barber is certainly an accessible composer and at the same time interesting and unusual in some of his turns of phrase, so to speak.

		Schurmann's concerto is highly original, a fusillade of sound that pulls its thunder from full-bodied string sections and a rounded palette of solo instruments.
		The material is modern with military drumrolls and thunder-like rumbles in the bass drum, murmuring violins, [and] a flurry of post-impressionist material for woodwinds.
		This [concerto] is an exhibit of compositional mastery.

		The Violin Concerto was written for the child prodigy and Flesch pupil, Iso Briselli, but ended up being premiered by Albert Spalding with the Philadelphians and Ormandy on 7 Feb 1941.
		This is good in its own right but also for those for whom the work has become stale although I am not going to forsake the Isaac Stern classic now on Sony Theta with the concertos for piano (the classic Browning version) and cello (Yo-Yo Ma).
		It dates from 1933 and was written after the composer had been reading Shelley's 'Prometheus Unbound' (an epic set, on the largest scale, by Havergal Brian for soloists, chorus and orchestra but whose full score has disappeared).

		Robert McDuffie delivers a satisfyingly heartfelt rendition of Barber's Violin Concerto, one that brings to light many of the score's beauties.
		Jon Kimura Parker offers a sharply focused, intense reading of the Piano Concerto, and while his does not have the authoritative air of dedicatee John Browning in his recording with Leonard Slatkin, Parker compensates with a youthful daring absent from the elder statesman's later reading.
		Barber's Souvenirs appears here in its full orchestra version (Browning and Slatkin recorded the two-piano original on their RCA disc), allowing us to delight in these whimsical dances from an enlarged perspective.

		The Barber Violin Concerto is not a great piece of music but it is a very fine one.
