Rummaging through my archives, I came across a 1977 recording made in Germany of the Sessions Violin Concerto, which I put together with an edit of the two premiere performances (alas, so far the only ones!) of Donald Martino’s Concerto from 1999.

These are important and rarely played works that certainly deserve more exposure! Hope you will be interested, here is where to find them:
