Vadim Repin (violin) Berliner Philharmoniker, Mariss Jansons The extraordinary atmosphere of this Open Air venue is the imagination of this production. More than 20,000 people attended the yearly Open Air Concert of the Berliner Philharmoniker at the Waldbühne in Berlin. The atmosphere is as unique as the Night of the Proms Concert. This is a full programme of musical showpieces and some of the most popular pieces of classical music like Tchaikovsky The Nutcracker, Mascagni Intermezzo, Paganini Il carnevale die Venezia and Sibelius Valse triste. The famous violinist Vadim Repin is clearly happy to indulge, performing here with all the appropriate showmanship and artistry alongside the first-class Berliner Philharmoniker and Mariss Jansons. This isn´t only a production for core classical lovers – this is a night for a wide audience. “Repin’s playing of the Paganini has to be watched to be believed, and the audience, quite justifiably, go wild at the end, causing him to repeat the piece, this time modified for even greater effect, enchanting all present including orchestra and conductor.

Julia Fischer (violin) Russian National Orchestra, Yakov Kreizberg “Julia Fischer brings fearsome concentration to a concerto that is so often an excuse for selfindulgence. She brings absolute control of colour and tone. Fischer realizes that you don’t have to wallow in romanticism for the piece to work its magic. Kreizberg and the fabulous Russian National Orchestra provide superb support.” Gramophone “Editor’s Choice” “Fischer always knows when to lighten the mood, or how best to judge the tension and release of a musical paragraph, and in this she is supported to the hilt by a personable but never too overbearing Russian National Orchestra under the baton of Yakov Kreizberg... In the Concerto's vivacious finale and the headlong Valse-Scherzo, Fischer makes light of the technical difficulties with spot-on pitching throughout; there isn't an aspect of any of these works in which this world-class virtuoso fails to excel.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2007 *****  BBC Music Magazine

| |  | Mayuko Kamio - In Recital
Debut solo album from Japanese violinist Mayuko Kamio, winner of the 2007 Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. Mayuko Kamio made her concert debut in Tokyo at the age of ten under the baton of Charles Dutoit, in a concert broadcast on NHK television. In 1998, having captured a prize at the Menuhin International Violin Competition (the youngest ever to win the award), she performed with the Orchestre National de Lille under Lord Menuhin’s baton. In 2004, Kamio was awarded the Gold Medal at the Monte Carlo Violin Masters and the International David Oistrakh Violin Competition in Ukraine. In 2004, she performed with the BBC Philharmonic under Gianandrea Noseda in Manchester, which was broadcast on BBC Radio, and then went on to tour to Japan. In January 2005, she was invited by the Lincoln Center in New York and gave a recital to huge critical acclaim. In 2006, she gave recitals in Japan, France, the United States, in Russia, and also performed with Tonhalle Orchestra/ Eliahu Inbal and Israel Philharmonic/ Zubin Mehta. “Mayuko Kamio… plays a 1727 Stradivarius once owned by Joachim and creates with it a remarkable range of vividly glowing timbre, playing with infinite subtlety of colour and phrasing. She closes the Méditation exquisitely so that the sensuous rapture of the Chausson Poème follows on perfectly to make the rich musical highlight of the programme, helped by the lovely playing of her excellent partner pianist, Vadim Gladkov.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2009 | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
