"I regard it as my best work; no other piece has poured forth from me so simply and easily. I wrote it almost at one sitting." - Tchaikovsky in a letter to his brother about his String Quartet No. 2.

Szymanowski's "First Violin Concerto" is getting more recognition as a work that deserves to be regularly heard by concert audiences. Benedetti makes a compelling case for that.
