Miklős Rőzsa: Violin Concerto & Other Orchestral Works – James Sedares

“This Concerto is probably Rozsa’s most celebrated concert work: its impassioned romanticism remains wonderfully enthralling … Theme, Variations & Finale was inspired by a wistful melody and helped to make Rozsa’s international reputation … Rozsa’s rhapsodic intensity and dramatic shading would soon lead to a remarkable career in Hollywood … Vintner’s Daughter, a picturesque set of variations, again shows the composer’s melodic appeal and he uses the orchestral palette as seductively as in his film music … Critics’ Choice for 1993” (Gramophone)
