Best-selling Scottish virtuoso Nicola Benedetti moves dramatically from the 18th-century world of Italia to the 20th-century world of cinema.

As a long-time champion of the lush Violin Concerto by the great stage and screen composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Nicola Benedetti has chosen to build a programme around his late Romantic concerto masterpiece. This unique collection of violin classics, written specifically for the movies, includes the poignant lament from Schindler’s List.

Dmitri Shostakovich, recognised as the Soviet Union’s greatest film composer, is represented by the beloved Gadfly Romance, as well as the similarly lyrical Andante from the film The Counterplan.

The contemporary British cinema is represented by the haunting main theme and specially-composed Fantasy for Violin & Orchestra from the 2004 hit Ladies in Lavender.

Hugely articulate and with a passion for music education it's clear she's a musician with a soapbox. The Scot's performance at the Last Night Of The Proms . . . was the perfect end to London's summer in the international spotlight and the perfect start to Benedetti's latest album's success . . . (Hazel Davis, Billboard)

. . . Benedetti decorates this repertoire with gleaming high-register pirouettes, plus vibrato throbs and hesitations that never descend into schmaltz. Such good taste is a pleasure . . . In Korngold's concerto she glides dexterously along the golden melodies . . . [Nigel Hess's theme from 'Ladies in Lavender']: tender and succulent . . . (Record Review, Geoff Brown)

The lush, romantic sound of Hollywood 1930s to the present suits her well . . . It helps that in the photo shoot for the disc she looks like a starlet too. (Record Review, Fiona Maddocks, The Observer)
