"Let's talk about music!" – "But the violinist is just 16 years old!" Many people will probably start discussing the GENUIN debut CD of Elina Rubio in this way or similarly – before they have heard her! For when one makes music like this young Spaniard, it is in fact impossible to be concerned with anything but what comes out of the loudspeakers. Moreover, this is the most difficult music that exists for the violin: Paganini, Ernst, Ysaÿe. In a perfection, beauty of sound and musicality that will doubtless cause Messieurs Heifetz and Menuhin to applaud enthusiastically on their clouds... Let us be enchanted!
