His seductive tone captivates from the first note, his quicksilver virtuosity suits the piece to perfection, and he gives the [Korngold Violin Concerto] precisely the shaded, bittersweet magic it deserves.”   BBC Music Magazine

“I am proud to present the greatest American-influenced writers of orchestral music together in one program. Lush and soaring Hollywood film scores evolved from the pen of Erich Korngold (The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Sea Hawk) to the epic scores of John Williams (Jaws, Star Wars, Schindler’s List).”

– Michael Christie, Artistic and Music Director, New West Symphony
