"Con Moto" is the GENUIN debut of cellist Friedrich Thiele, who won an almost unbelievable number of major prizes in 2019: he won the ARD Music Competition, the German Music Competition, and in Markneukirchen. On his CD, which is released in cooperation with the German Music Council, the up-and-coming star presents a classical recital program. This ranges from Brahms` profound F-Major Sonata to Dutilleux` Trois Strophes and Wieniawski's virtuoso delicacy Scherzo Tarantelle, originally written for violin. One gets to know the young musician from every angle and admires his versatile tone and technical superiority.
