“Kutik made a convincing argument that Mendelssohn’s D-minor Concerto deserves to be heard more often. He took a work prone to histrionics in some hands and made it a captivatingly subtle musical journey. While there were some big, bold lines in the stormy first movement, there was disarming gentleness in the Andante. And Kutik displayed exhilarating athleticism in the fast passages of the Roma-flavored finale.”

“Violinist Yevgeny Kutik gets points right off the bat for the concept of this album, which is in all likelihood one that nobody else has attempted before: he commissioned a group of composers to select a family photograph (some of the composers chose a personal photograph instead) and write a piece inspired by it … Recommended for violinists and other soloists looking for a unique recital idea.” Listen to Meditations on Family
