⁠This arresting, imaginatively-programmed debut from violinist Diana Tishchenko who won the 2018 Long Thibaud Crespin Competition in Paris, and here explores the connections between four composers who lived and worked in the city, establishes her as a major talent; her lean, low-cholesterol approach to the Ravel sonata rather reminded me of Alina Ibragimova, and she’s fully alive to the folk influences in Enescu’s Sonata ‘dans le caractère populaire roumain’.
