Three striking violin concertos from composers who have over the last decade, been receiving greater exposure and recognition in the West. Armenian, Alexander Arutiunian; Latvian, Peteris Vasks; and Russian, Mikhail Bronner are spectacularly represented by the formidable performances of Moscow born Levon Ambartsumian both as Violin soloist and as Conductor of his ARCO Chamber Orchestra.
