Kodaly’s beautiful hungarian style duet is undoubtedly one of the most important contributions to the repertoire for the duo violin/cello. Here you can hear and watch it as my wife Paula Novoa (violin) and myself (cello) play it in Fribourg.

Video: Hugo Wolf: Italian Serenade

During rehearsals we played this piece also at very slow speeds. That’s when I realized that the amount of harmony changes is staggering – Wolf must have been more than just your ordinary workaholic composer.

This music is amazing and yet relatively unknown. My orchestra colleagues Christina Gallati (first violin), Keiko Yamaguchi (second violin) as well as my chamber music friends Markus Wieser (viola) and Maria Efstathiou play the colorful masterpiece.

Video: Jean-Marie LeClair: Sonata No. 8

Recorded live in Blitzingen, December 30, 2012

This sonata by Jean-Marie LeClair is a beautiful piece of music and I had the great pleasure to play it with my wife Paula Novoa (violin) and my aunt Silvia Nowak (harpsichord) in a packed church in Blitzingen for our traditional christmas concert. This christmas concert has become a big event over the years and myself as a citizen of Blitzingen am very happy to be able to contribute to the tiny village’s cultural calendar.
