Simon Standage and Catherine Weiss are well-matched in the double concertos, from hair-raising momentum to lovely slow-movement dialogue. In the solo concertos, Standage sometimes sacrifices impulsion to expressive gesture in fast movements but elsewhere he’s dazzling, and he growls away on lower strings with tremendous energy in the final track on the disc.
