Pentatone

Arabella Steinbacher (violin)<br/><br/>Festival Strings Lucerne, Daniel Dodds<br/><br/>Arabella Steinbacher is one of the fastest-rising stars in the world of music today. This young performer is already being hailed as one of the truly great violinists of our times, acclaimed by The New York Times for playing with 'balanced lyricism and fire'.<br/><br/>At the age of 8, Ms Steinbacher was already performing her first violin concerto by the composer. And since then, the work has reappeared throughout her successful career like a leitmotiv. Yet her performance has never appeared on a CD, Following repeated requests from concert audiences, it is now finally 'Zeit Fur Mozart' (= time for Mozart): the fulfilment of a long-cherished wish, not only for Arabella, but also for her many followers. For all those aficionados who want to enjoy Mozart's most playful melodies, this is sure to be a case of 'love at first listen'.

Mehta Bejun: Cantata [SACD Hybrid]

Dvorak: Sypmhnonies Nos 7-9 (Semyon Bychkov) [2 CD]

På detta fängslande album utforskar pianisten Saskia Giorgini och Trondheimsolistene gränserna mellan kammarmusik och konsert, och väver en berättelse som förbinder Mozarts lyriska elegans med Sjostakovitjs bitande kvickhet. Mozarts pianokonsert i A-dur ställs i kontrast till Sjostakovitjs Konsert nr 1 för piano, trumpet och stråkar, som även innebär trumpetaren Per Ivarssons debut på Pentatone.
