...Violin Concerto was the culmination of this search to reconcile modality and tonality, impressionism and germanic form. His Violin Concerto displays three of his leading characteristics: efflorescent harmonic textures, generative rhythms, and his own cyclical sonata-allegro form. The Concerto requires superb understanding of its organic interrelations as well as the ability to switch from intense but strictly controlled lyricism to propulsive technics...
...never so hurried that he loses the grace of an adagio and never so relaxed that he loses the punch of an allegro. He has a gifted sense of measure but, happily, never seems to be measuring.

The tragic Andante moderato, with its famous Phrygian modality, was a gem. Opening furiously, the third movement, Allegro giocoso, joked only in its use of the triangle. The concluding Passacaglia, Allegro energico e passionato, was just that...
