Hommage to Paganini Works by Paganini, Gabrielli, Locatelli, Vieuxtemps, Corigliano The violin virtuoso Sergey Malov is one of the quickly rising young stars of today's music scene, with a career triggered by his awards in important international competitions (Heifetz 2008, Mozart 2010, Michael Hill 2011 or Tokyo 2010, the latter on the viola). Unlike most of his colleagues, he does not limit his activity to the modern violin, but is also committed to Baroque performance practice, and to playing both the viola and the violoncello da spalla, an instrument played on the shoulder.

On his CD 'Hommage à Paganini', Malov presents highly virtuosic solo works for his four instruments, in a recital which creates a strong emotional link to the 19th-century's 'devil's violinist'.

Igor Stravinsky in 4 Deals

An unusual aspect of Stravinsky emerges from this four works. Even this final version of 'Pulcinella' has a neoclassical feel. His Violin Concerto marked a return to Bach, played here sublimely by David Oistrakh. There follows Stravinsky himself conducting 'Jeu de Cartes', gleefully making the joker come across as a real prankster. Finally, a 1963 rendering of his 'Mouvements' manages to demystify Webern-style serialism in a mere ten minutes.

A tribute to František Stupka DVORAK: Symphonies 8 & 9

Czech Philharmonic Orchestra František Stupka A tribute to František Stupka (1879-1965) ranked among the greatest Czech conductors of the 20th century, alongside Bedrich Bakala, Rafael Kubelík, Vaclav Talich and Karel Ancerl. After leading a string quartet, he was co-director of the Czech Philharmonic (1946-56) with Talich. His career was limited to the East and his significant contribution to new ensembles like the Moravian Philharmonic remained without any modern studio recordings. Here Praga offer as a reminder Stupka’s landmark rendering of two of Dvorak’s masterpieces.
