Augustin Hadelich violin

Wednesday 14 December 2011

Born in Germany, raised in Italy and living in New York City, Augustin Hadelich is already a top-ranking violinist in great demand in Europe and the US: “wondrous playing…These are exceptionally compelling performances, sharply defined in character, immaculately articulated, rich in interpretative acumen and blessed with extraordinary finesse .” (Gramophone review of 'Echoes of Paris' CD on Avie).   This London showcase was his first performance in the UK with a programme that includes Poulenc, Ysaÿe, Kurtág and Brahms. He was accompanied by Sophia Rahman.
