He has performed with Il Giardino Armonico under Giovanni Antonini and the Vienna Philharmonic under Gustavo Dudamel, and was personally invited by the composer to be the soloist for the premiere of Salonen’s new cello concerto—a testament to the deep trust he enjoys among active composers. Furthermore, as music director and conductor of the Haydn Philharmonic in Vienna, he delivers vibrant performances infused with period-style interpretation... and is currently demonstrating a truly boundary-less career. Now, following the album featuring works by Bartók and Veress—which won the 2020 Gramophone Award for Chamber Music—comes a new release resulting from a collaboration between the Rockenhaus Music Festival, where he has served as music director since 2012, and ALPHA. The Kodály piece, performed as a duo with festival regular Barnabás Kéremény, captivates the listener from the very beginning with its intensity—the instruments resonating with a gritty, powerful sound—yet it is a deeply rewarding listen, filled with tension throughout and marked by the empathy Kéremény shows toward his homeland’s great composer. The Dvořák recording, featuring Alexander Ronkvich—another familiar face at the music festival—is a superb performance, showcasing the lyrical quality of the strongly Slavic melodies and the dynamic energy of the rhythms. This “Dumky” also includes an interesting bonus track at the end: the first draft (unfinished) of the third movement.\n\n*The Japanese edition includes a Japanese liner note.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53374648090913,"sku":"4589538766894","price":2673.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538766894.jpg?v=1787632183","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538766894","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
