Kolja Blacher already recorded two releases on our label Phil.harmonie (Igor Strawinskys 'Geschichte vom Soldaten' with soloists of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and Dominique Horwitz with the role of the narrator and the Bach Partitas BWV 1004, BWV 1006 with Frank Arnold as speaker). On this new recording together with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra (founded by Claudio Abbado) they recorded the last orchestral work of Robert Schumann, the concert for violin and orchestra in D minor. Together with the pianist and composer Vassilij Lobanov, Kolja Blacher plays on the recording the Schumann sonata No. 1 for piano and violin in A minor op 105 and the Three Romances for violin and piano op. 94 No. 1-3 that count to one of the nicest and most passionate chamber music of Schumann.
