Bohemian Tales - Augustin Hadelich - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Dvořák’s richly melodic violin concerto is the centrepiece of Bohemian Tales, an exploration of music by three Czech composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. At that time, as Augustin Hadelich explains, “many composers were taking a special interest in creating their own national styles by drawing on the languages, stories, landscapes and folk music of their homelands. Each of these three composers was a unique contributor to the history and scope of Czech classical music.”

In 2017, when Hadelich played the Dvořák concerto in New York under the baton of Czech-born conductor Jakub Hrůša, the New York Times wrote that he “increasingly seems to be one of the outstanding violinists of his generation.” Hadelich and Hrůša teamed up with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra for this recording, while British pianist Charles Owen is the violinist’s partner for chamber works by Dvořák, Janáček and Josef Suk (Dvořák’s son-in-law).
