By mid-century a second generation took up the challenge more thoroughly, their compositions confidently handling the large forms of the concert hall, though still drawing on regional idioms. The Soviet orthodoxy of the day expected it's composers to abide by the rules, but the three composers heard here - two Azeris and a Georgian, all young men when they wrote the violin concertos on this album - brought something fresh and individual to the task, marrying east and west, form and freedom, tradition and originality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Violin Concerto in D minor~I.
