   Alina Ibragimova: Hartmann Concerto Funèbre
   
   Britten Sinfonia
   ...
   The classical music world is buzzing with news of extraordinary young Russian violinist Alina Ibragimova.
   ...
   Meanwhile, in The Times, critic Geoff Brown awards her four stars, describing Ibragimova as ‘a scorchingly good violinist ... wielded at high altitudes is phenomenal'.
   ...
   Ibragimova has chosen the third route, towards serious and neglected repertory.
   ...
   With her supreme technical command and good taste, Ibragimova has nothing to fear from playing puff pastry.But a Hartmann milestone such as his desperate and moving Concerto funèbre, written in the dark autumn of 1939, then revised 20 years later, is a much better match.
   ...
   Ibragimova is marvellously sturdy and exact, especially when making perilous leaps from exposed places.
   
   And she plays with such commitment and feeling; no-one should play Hartmann out of duty.As for her next disc, the doors are wide open.But whatever Ibragimova plays, it'll be worth hearing.
   ...
   Ibragimova proves an ideal exponent, her tempi freer and more elastic (and mostly quicker) than Turban's.
   ...
   Hard on the heels of Orfeo's marvellous mid-price issue of Schneiderhan's gripping performance of the Concerto funebre , Ibragimova's fiercely clear-eyed account - alive to the music's expressive demands as well as its dynamic markings (some of which Schneiderhan and Gertler are less scrupulous with) - faces stiff competition but need not fear comparison with any of the dozen or so rival accounts.Her technique is formidable to say the least and if I still marginally prefer Faust, Ibragimova is on her shoulder having surpassed Zehetmair, although Hyperion's couplings and recording quality, to say nothing of the excellent Britten Sinfonia, deserve a share in the plaudits.Recommended.

   We urge you to come into the space of the concert hall to discover your own space between the notes in the esoteric and mysterious program presented by John Storgårds, one of our guest leaders in 2008; or later as the esoteric shifts to a more generic music with our other guest leader Alina Ibragimova in Vivaldi's perennially compelling Four Seasons , not heard on an ACO stage for many years.
