Video: Antonin Dvorak: Cello Concerto Live in Concert – OVUF/Ianos/Diezig

Recorded on 5/5/2013 in Fribourg, Aula de l’Université.

The Dvorak Cello Concerto is one of the most beautiful Cello Concertos if not the most beautiful of them all and for sure the most famous one. Recently I had the opportunity to play it in Fribourg with the Orchestre de la Ville et de l’Université de Fribourg under the baton of Maestro Alexandru Ianos. A great experience! Here comes the video for my own “Digital Concert Hall”. Enjoy it!

Video: Johann-Sebastian Bach: Sarabande and Gigue from 6th Suite for Cello solo

The Suite No. 6 for Cello solo by Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the trickiest pieces to play because it was written for a cello with 5 strings. Today most people play it on the instrument they have which means only 4 strings like seen in this video. Hence the difficulty.

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.

Recorded in Lucerne, March 17, 2013

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.
