Dear Friends and Fans,
I am very excited to share two World Premieres with you!

This year marks both Beethoven’s 250th anniversary and the 200th anniversary of the great Belgian violin virtuoso Henry Vieuxtemps, who has been an icon for many generations of violinists-including a long line of violinists in my own family, reaching back into the 19th century.
I feel truly honored to be part of the anniversary celebrations, working with Martin Wulfhorst on the first edition of two versions of an unknown Cadenza by Vieuxtemps to the first movement of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, soon to be published by Doblinger.
What I love especially about the Cadenzas is their lyrical beauty and the rhythmical energy, inspired by Beethoven.
Truly unique is the accompaniment of strings (string quartet) and timpani, probably modeled on Beethoven’s own Cadenza for the piano transcription of the Violin Concerto op. 61a.
The instrument I used for the recordings is the “Princess Aurora” Stradivarius of 1709, which I have been privileged to play for the last three years and which has been loaned to me by the Goh Family Foundation.
When I first touched the instrument after it had not been played for 90 years, it came back to life. This was a magical feeling, like waking up a princess after a long sleep.
I had the same feeling when I first played the Cadenzas, which probably had not been performed for the past 175 years.
It is wonderful to speak the language of music, a language without time limits and geographical borders - bringing together on this recording a German composer’s Concerto and a Belgian virtuoso’s Cadenza, played by a Russian-born violinist on an Italian instrument!
It was a fascinating experience to be part of such a unique process and to record the Cadenzas, reviving them together with Doblinger and Martin Wulfhorst.
