Remarkable young viola player Enikö Magyar performs Bruch's lyrical Romance and Hummel's entertainment; Simon Callaghan returns to Dodderhill for Prokofiev's third concerto – a work matching Simon's own blistering virtuosity and musical invention; surrounding them, Dvořák's Legends are the tender cousins of the composer's Slavonic Dances.
