I am just listening to this performance again while adding a table of contents so that you can go to any particular concerto or movement, ...and am so happy and amazed how good this performance really is. Stephen Waarts is Spectacular! Stephen had only a couple of months to learn, memorize, and perform this 45+ minute composition – and by the way he never used music in the 2 rehearsals either, not once – just after he won the 2014 Menuhin International Violin Competition. Stephen Waarts was awarded 1st Prize in the Senior Division. He also received the Bach Prize and the Composer's Prize for Donald Grantham’s new work Black-eyed Suzy.

You can visit his website and see his current progress to what I predict will be world wide appreciation:
