Hartmann, Thomas de - Rediscovered - Various Artists

This album brings Ukrainian composer Thomas de Hartmann, an important compositional voice of his time, back into the limelight with his glowing, cinematic violin and cello concertos. With the help of an international cast of stars, the recording not only aims to restore de Hartmann's work, but also to bring musicians together during wartime.

The violin concerto was recorded in Warsaw with Joshua Bell as soloist and Dalia Stasevska conducting the INSO-Lviv Symphony Orchestra, which managed to temporarily leave its besieged country. The cello concerto is performed by Matt Haimovitz and the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Dennis Russell Davies.

This album is made possible thanks to the dedication and generous support of the Thomas de Hartmann Project, which aims to reintroduce his colorful and captivating music.
