Bicinia Hungarica Tricinia (Complete)

Gershwin: Rhapsody in Blue

•We find in the historical record imploring lines written by Vivaldi (1678–1741) to his patron, Count Morzin, when recommending a set of compositions for his support and patronage (op. 8) which include the violin concertos known as “The Four Seasons”. In the end, history has certainly been the biggest benefactor. For this recording the cycle is played by the Capella Savaria (“one of Europe’s best ensembles” - Opus Magazine), led by Zsolt Kalló, on period instruments.

Rivka Golani’s portrait album invites listeners on a musical journey spanning the 1820s to the late 1940s; its style ranges from early romanticism to post romanticism. Another of the music peculiarities is that it shows how the millennial heritage of Jewish culture enriched European art music. Rivka Golani is recognized as one of the outstanding modern violists. More than 300 works have so far been composed for her, including 77 concertos: a record matched by no other violist in history.

This recording features Budapest International Flute Competition and "Prague Spring" Competition first-prize winner Dóra Seres’ flute-transcription realization of Niccolò Paganini’s revolutionary 24 Caprices, op. 1 for solo violin. “… I tried to stay as close as possible to the originals. However, my first priority was to preserve the character of each caprice. (Dóra Seres) "Dora Seres’ flute sound is beautiful, glittering, and energetic. Her imaginative music-making touches her audience." - Hungarian music magazine Parlando

The excellent cellist Ditta Rohmann plays cello arrangements of the exquisitely selected repertory from the early twentieth century in the company of her father, the pianist Imre Rohmann. Starting with core pieces of the cello literature through works which are challenging even for violinists, to all-time favorites we are offered a snapshot of the musical world of the last century with its varied but still coherent style. We can see both the performing and the creative qualities of the artists, since we can hear their own arrangements in the recording. As a special feature, Ditta Rohamnn plays the Ravel sonata on a five-string cello. Ditta Rohmann considers artistic independence extremely important, so at present she is not a member of any ensemble or institution. She gives recitals as a soloist and a performer of chamber music and teaches on masterclasses and professional trainings. Her musical activity is defined by her individual perspective and creative attitude. This is well illustrated in her repertoire which ranges from Bach through Bartok to Indian music and improvisation. Her most important teachers were Miklos Perenyi, Ivan Monighetti, Suren Bagratuni and Ferenc Rados. Ditta’s knowledge was significantly enriched by participating in international masterclasses. Outstanding among her prizes are the ones she gained in the Leipzig Bach Competition and the Hungarian Junior Prima Prize. Her recordings of the Bach cello suites have achieved international success.
