Of these three concertos two have never been recorded before, and the first, the Concerto in D major, Op. Posth. No. 2 comes as a real surprise in that it is a tough, serious-minded classical violin concerto without the slightest manner of courtly pretension. The searing Adagio movement is played to perfection by Zhou, and the concluding Rondo is exceedingly catchy and will stay with the listener long after the music is finished. The Concerto in G major No. 10 is a little more in line with Saint-Georges' expected idiom, but none the worse for that -- it is a truly challenging concerto that has many attractive features. As more of these concertos are recorded, it is becoming easier to appreciate what sets them apart from other violin concertos of the period -- they are in the main longer, more difficult and fully developed than any other violin concertos of their age, apart from those of Mozart. Those who are familiar with Saint-Georges will already recognize the Concerto in D major, Op. 3/1 as it has been recorded three times before, but Zhou's sensitive and moving reading of this work moves her Naxos performance to the top of the heap.
