All three songs are renown, popular pieces. George Enescu's (1881-1955) Romanian Rhapsody No. 1 enlivens the folk music traditions of his native country with a lively and brilliant orchestration. Brahms’ Violin Concerto is one of the most beloved violin concertos of all times. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6. is the last piece written by the composer. Following the three opuses of extremely different character, the last piece is a poignant death-music.
Grammy-winning violinist Augustin Hadelich was born in Italy to a German family in 1984. After graduating, he continued his studies in the United States, where he began his career and where he has been living ever since. András Keller is the Kossuth Prize-winning first violinist of the famous string quartet he founded. He has been conducting since 2003 and is the chief conductor of the Concerto Budapest.
