Bohemian Tales
Augustin Hadelich, violin; Charles Owen, piano
Symphonie-Orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks; Jakub Hrůša, conductor
“Mr Hadelich increasingly seems to be one of the outstanding violinists of his generation,” wrote the New York Times after Augustin Hadelich played Dvořák’s Violin Concerto under Czech-born Jakub Hrůša’s baton in 2017. Hadelich and Hrůša have now recorded the concerto with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks . Bohemian Tales pairs the concerto with works for violin and piano by Dvořák and two other major Czech composers of the late 19th/early 20th centuries, Leos Janáček and Josef Suk. The pianist is Charles Owen.
