About

“Mr Hadelich increasingly seems to be one of the outstanding violinists of his generation,” wrote the New York Times after Augustin Hadelich played Dvořák’s Violin Concerto under Czech-born Jakub Hrůša’s baton in 2017. Hadelich and Hrůša have now recorded the concerto with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks . Bohemian Tales pairs the concerto with works for violin and piano by Dvořák and two other major Czech composers of the late 19th/early 20th centuries, Leos Janáček and Josef Suk. The pianist is Charles Owen.

August 2020

How warmly his dolce playing seems to smile… Note, too, the way Hadelich suggests a wiry-sounding folk fiddle in the finale’s D minor interlude… Jakub Hrůša has the Bavarian RSO playing with vigour and a comparable sense of care…Hadelich and his longtime recital partner Charles Owen transform the last of Dvořák’s Four Romantic Pieces, Op 75, into an aching, darkly passionate miniature tone-painting… A superb disc on all counts.

21st June 2020

With Hruša drawing stylish sounds from the Bavarian orchestra — especially the woodwinds — this performance [of the Concerto] sounds idiomatic, irresistibly dance-like in the closing furiant section, yet with an undertow of melancholy that makes Dvořák so distinctive...Hadelich and Owen dash off the most virtuosic of the music here: Four Pieces Op 17, by Dvořák’s son-in-law, Josef Suk. Delicious.
