About the album

Tamsin Waley Cohen is joined by pianist Huw Watkins for a new disc exploring folk-inspired Bohemia from before the First World War – featuring works by Antonin Dvořák, Josef Suk and Leoš Janáček.

This disc follows Tamsin’s recent critically-praised disc of Roy Harris and John Adams’ Violin Concertos with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, as well as previous discs with Huw Watkins exploring some lesser-known gems of the violina and Piano repertoire.

Muziek vol bitterzoete nostalgie
In deze opname wordt violiste Tamsin Waley-Cohen bijgestaan door pianist Huw Watkins. Het is een album met volksmuziek van Antonin Dvořák, Josef Suk en Leoš Janáček, geïnspireerd op het Bohemen van voor de Eerste Wereldoorlog. Haar voorgaande album met vioolconcerten van John Adams en Roy Harris kreeg goede recensies van de critici. Datzelfde geldt voor de andere opnamen waarin de violiste samenspeelt met Watkins, met wie ze graag optreedt.

De Times beschrijft Tamsin Waley-Cohen als een violiste die het publiek boeit met gedurfde en onbevreesde uitvoeringen. Ze wordt ook vermetel en intens genoemd. In ieder geval kent de violiste een avontuurlijke en gevarieerde carrière. Ze trad ondermeer op met de Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra en BBC Concert Orchestra en ook met bekende dirigenten als Andrew Litton, Jose Serebrier and Tamas Vasary. Ze treedt op in Europa, de Verenigde Staten en Nieuw Zeeland, speelt op festivals en in grote concertzalen als de Barbican, Wigmore Hall en de Bridgewater Hall.

Tamsin treedt regelmatig op met Huw Watkins die over een uitzonderlijke vaardigheid op de piano beschikt en kunstzinnige composities maakt. Hij is een allround componist en musicus en veel gevraagd pianist in Engeland.
