Mankell: Piano Concerto & Nystroem: Concerto Ricercante
Anna Christensson (piano)
Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, Roberto Paternostro

Philipp Scharwenka: Chamber Music
Laurent Albrecht Breuninger (violin), Lise Berthaud (viola), Oliver Triendl (piano)

Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, Gregor Buhl

Hanns Eisler: Deutsche Sinfonie, Op.50
ORF Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, Wiener Jeunesse Chor, Günther Theuring

As the Prince, Robin Adams is the cast’s outstanding singer, his baritone lyrical enough for the ‘dreaminess’ of his character, but also strong and full-bodied enough for his role as hero of... — More…
