Joseph Swensen has established himself as one of the most exciting talents to have emerged from today's younger generation of conductors. This was recognized by his appointment, in autumn 1996, as Principal Conductor of the Scottish Chamber Orchestra.

Violin Concerto No. 2 is perhaps the best-known and loved of Prokofiev's violin works. Composed in 1935, just before Prokofiev ended his 17 years of self-imposed exile from post-Revolutionary Russia, it is one of his finest essays in the style of "new simplicity" he had been cultivating from the early 1930s.

"It's impossible not to admire this latest release from Joseph Swensen and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. The Classical Symphony is marvelous: exceptionally paced, exquisitely phrased by the violins in the slow movement, effervescent in the finale, texturally pellucid, with characterful wind playing. In a word, it's perfect...The sonics, whether in stereo or SACD multichannel format, are as fine as the performances. Really, this is exceptional by any standard."
