Péché de Classique, 01-12-2016Linus Roth
Since he won the Echo Klassik Award for his EMI debut album in 2006 Linus Roth has made a name for himself both as one of the most interesting violinists of his generation and as a champion of wrongly forgotten works and composers. His live performances and his recording of Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s complete works for Violin and Piano for Challenge Classics have brought him both critical and public acclaim. Roth’s commitment to Weinberg is further documented in his recording of Weinberg’s Violin Concerto with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin.
After joining Prof Nicolas Chumachenco’s pre-college division at the Music Academy Freiburg, Linus Roth continued his studies with Prof. Zakhar Bron in Lübeck and with Prof. Ana Chumachenco at the Academies of Zurich and Munich. Salvatore Accardo, Miriam Fried and Josef Rissin all strongly influenced his development as a player as did Anne-Sophie Mutter, whose Foundation awarded him a scholarship for the duration of his studies. In 2012 he was appointed Professor for Violin at the “Leopold-Mozart-Centre” of the University of Augsburg, Germany.
Linus Roth has been awarded several high-ranking prizes, including 1st prize at the "International Novosibirsk Violin Competition", 2nd prize at the International Music Competition "Joseph Szigeti" and the 1st prize of the German Music Competition, combined with the Special Prize for the best interpretation of a work by Schumann.
Linus Roth plays the A. Stradivari “Dancla” 1703, kindly loaned to him by the “L-Bank, Staatsbank of Baden-Württemberg, Germany”.

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin
For more than 65 years the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (DSO Berlin) has distinguished itself as one of Germany’s leading orchestras. The number of renowned Music Directors, the scope and variety of its work, and its particular emphasis on modern and contemporary music, makes the ensemble unique. It was founded in 1946 as the RIAS-Symphonie-Orchester by the broadcasting station in the American sector of Berlin. In 1956 the orchestra was renamed the Radio Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (RSO Berlin), and in 1993, to avoid confusion in Berlin’s newly reunited cultural landscape, the orchestra decided to relinquish its familiar name in favour of its present one.
Ferenc Fricsay became the orchestra’s first Music Director. He set the standard and defined the repertoire. The orchestra’s sound was characterized by transparency, structural clarity and plasticity. It quickly became well known for its commitment to 20th century music, and its ability to attract first-rate conductors. In 1964, Lorin Maazel took on the artistic responsibility for the orchestra. He was succeeded by Riccardo Chailly (1982-89), Vladimir Ashkenazy (1989-99), Kent Nagano (2000-06) and Ingo Metzmacher (2007-10). Since the start of the 2012-13 season the young Ossetian conductor Tugan Sokhiev is DSO Berlin’s new Music Director.
The Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin and its history have become emblematic of the democratic and cultural renewal of Germany following the defeat of National Socialism and the end of World War II. That is how the orchestra has been perceived at its concerts in Berlin and on tours throughout Germany and the rest of Europe, North and South America, and in the Near, Middle and Far East. Its groundbreaking radio and recording productions have further solidified this image. In 2011 the orchestra was awarded a Grammy Award for the Best Opera Recording.

["].. To coincide with the 70th anniversary of VJ Day, violinist Linus Roth and the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn put together this imaginitive disc of music composed in the Second World War and its immediate aftermath."
Financial Times, 23-8-2015
It was totally in on the strange curiosity and violinist unknown label this home recording curiosity. As a result, playing and recording deeply touched me! Britten "Violin Concerto" is very familiar with and loved my work, never heard of such a profound and wonderful performances, surprise, I discovered another wonderful violin concerto first half of the 20th Century Polish Jewish leaf composer 梅谢斯拉夫 · Weinberg's "Violin Concerto."
Such a violinist Linus Roth is worthy of our crazy "speculation" performer, because no matter how "hype" This performer, his soul and blood they are always doomed servants music, music listeners Art Guide, rather than the music and the audience exploiters.
Two days ago, I was on the site for later downloading www.nativedsd.com Dutch label Challenge Records company produced 里努斯 Ross (Linus Roth) to play the recorded British composer Britten "Violin Concerto" and the Polish composer梅谢斯拉夫 · Weinberg "Violin Concerto."

Artistic music (ie serious music or classical music) in today's crisis is not just that the cultural emptiness created, but also because the lack of players to explore and ideas. Formalist work is superficial virtuoso playing with superficial imagination, out of the "musical" How to have vitality? How can I convince people? So, a lot of contemporary new works, namely the final play premiere is the inevitable result. And those who have been generations of master interpretation and the interpretation of the classic works of hundreds of years have been identical with the boring performance stifle vitality today, and this is the real reason for the classical music listeners in the aging of the failure. Of course, lead to such results are not musicians who recognize this fact, they are immortal life with the classic works of burning their own vanity and fame.
Artistic life from real emotions and thinking, and as its immortal life. Commercial speculation the star addition to our seductive and admiration beyond its commercial value, not the art of guards, but not artistic life Reinventors. To save classical music and the musicians are not able to breed grandstanding and greed were the star of profit generation of classical music listeners, but as 里努斯 Ross this culture, ideology and artistic conscience of the pious musician and playing Family. The only way to make classical musicians continue to be a classic live, the only way a player can make the resurrection of the dead outstanding works, the only way a player can make excellent new works survive!
Linu Si Ross not to musical genius and musical prodigy started his artistic skills from a strong cultural awareness and love for life and observation, and thus form their own artistic sensitivity and deep thinking. He put the gifts and talents as a tool rather than as a weapon to obtain fame and fortune.
Linu Si Ross is a very complete musician type musician, his accomplishments in terms of chamber music is also very high.

["].. The album opens with "Concerto funebre" by Karl Amadeus Hartmann, a mournful work in which he sought to present "truth that spreads joy and is connected to grief."
The Independent, 25-7-2015
One from the ten of the year's most scintillating classical releases - This piece is terrific (...) Wonderful, full-blooded backing.
theartdesk.com, 29-12-2014
Best Concerto recording of 2014 - Maestro Kütson and the DSO Berlin musicians retain a significant degree of spontaneity in their realization of the evolving ground bass, and Mr. Roth complements their efforts with playing that combines lightness of touch with robustness of tone.

forbes.com, 15-12-2014
One of the recording of the year
Gramophone, 01-12-2014
The disc is recommended for the Weinberg––a work urgently worth getting to know––and for an idiosyncratic but effective rendition of the Britten.

Linus Roth technical skill is beyond reproach.

Tageblatt, 31-5-2014
If any performer can popularise the piece it has to be the phenomenal Linus Roth, whose unflagging energy makes this CD one of the best concerto discs this year. He is marvellous from the off. Unmissable, and recorded in sensational sound too"

It’s worth getting this recording for the Weinberg concerto alone but with the addition of the Britten it becomes self recommending.

Do not Let yourself be put off by the relative obscurity of this repertoire: This is pure enjoyment
Opusklassiek.nl, 07-4-2014
"An unexpected good combination... a release that comes with sensational hifi-sound. Roth's strength is the emotion: induvidual shaping right up to creaking/scratching, an accelerando that takes someones breath, pure excitement - that is Linus Roth. ... cinema at its most."
Crescendo, 01-4-2014
Overall, I cannot fault this recording, particularly the lush sound engineering. I can only hope that this disc can serve as a persuasive case to encourage other violinists to take up both of these works - but especially the Weinberg.

He (Linus Roth) is a Weinberg champion and what acclaim the composer receives after this recording has been out for a few weeks will be largely down to the violinist.
