Milestones

Philippe Quint, the acclaimed US violinist, presents "Milestones," a captivating album set to release on April 4, 2025, under the prestigious Pentatone label. This album is a testament to Quint's artistry, featuring two violin concertos written specifically for him, spanning over two decades of his illustrious career.

The album opens with Errollyn Wallen's 2024 Violin Concerto, a piece that showcases the British composer's unique voice and Quint's exceptional skill. The concerto is divided into four distinct movements, each offering a different mood and tempo, from the grand and majestic "Grandioso" to the introspective "Andante religioso."

The second concerto on the album is a piece that Quint has a deep personal connection to. Written by a Russian-born composer, this concerto is also divided into three movements, each with its own character, from the slow and mysterious first movement to the cheeky and lively third.

In addition to these two concertos, the album also features the "Odyssey" Rhapsody for Violin and Piano, a piece that further highlights Quint's versatility and musical prowess. The album concludes with "Adoration," a piece that leaves a lasting impression.

"Milestones" is not just a collection of pieces; it's a journey through Quint's musical evolution, showcasing his growth as an artist and his ability to bring out the best in each piece. The album is performed with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, conducted by Andrew Litton, and is a testament to the power of collaboration and the beauty of classical music. With a duration of 1 hour and 2 minutes, this album is a must-listen for any classical music enthusiast.
