McMahan has said of this project, "I have always been wonderfully moved by Anastasia's playing, and when she said she was working this exciting project I was happy to help."
Miklós Rózsa is better known in the United States as the composer of the scores for Hollywood films, such as Hitchcock's Spellbound in 1945 (for which he won the Academy Award, and still his most popular work), again in 1947 for A Double Life, and for a third time in 1959 for Ben-Hur.
Violin Concerto, Op. 24, featuring violinist Anastasia Khitruk, and Sinfonia Concertante, Op. 29, featuring Ms. Khitruk and cellist Andrey Tchekmazov, were recorded between March 6th and 11th, 2007, at the Russian State TV & Radio Company Kultura - Studio 5 in Moscow, Russia, with Dmitry Yablonsky conducting the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra. The sessions were engineered by Aleksandr Karasev and produced by Lubov Doronina. The landmark recording, ROZSA: Violin Concerto / Sinfonia Concertante, featuring Ms. Khitruk's violin virtuosity, has just been released by Naxos. Ms. Khitruk will be playing selections from the album at Carnegie Hall in New York City on October 1, 2007. For more about the album, visit:

However his classical works do not get the attention they deserve. Ms. Khitruk's mission is to change that, to build new interest in these wonderful compositions, and to see them performed again worldwide. Since Dr. Rózsa was born in Budapest on April 18th, 1907, Ms. Khitruk and her associated artists have decided to use this anniversary as the starting point of their recording and performing project.
