Awards and reviews
Classical Music March 2018
One of Semenenko’s strengths is his impeccable tuning. The dark, throaty low register of his violin sings eloquently in Tchaikovsky’s Sérénade mélancolique; the upper end glistens impishly in the Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Figaro (‘Concert Paraphrase on Rossini’s Barber of Seville’); more Rossini for inspiration in Paganini’s I palpiti (on Tancredi), a staggeringly tough ask that Semenenko despatches with aplomb. The recording is top drawer, capturing Semenenko’s bright, appealing tone perfectly.
