OPUS KLASSIEK, Aart van der Wal

….Contrasts which also testify to the intense musicality of the protagonist: the young French violinist Virgil Boutellis-Taft, who with his evocative playing opens up a real world of wonder making a strong impression. We are dealing with a soloist who does not flaunt, but puts intelligence and technique entirely at the service of music, thoughtfully assisted by Van Steen with the famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra … The recording made at Henry Wood Hall of London meets all expectations.
