This new album includes some of Tchaikovsky’s finest music, and the recording expands the violin’s repertoire even further.
Inspired by great performers such as Sarasate, Heifetz, Kreisler and Joachim, violinist Guy Braunstein adds to a tradition of violin and orchestra new arrangements of famous excerpts from Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin and Swan Lake. Together with the extraordinary Violin Concerto, Valse Scherzo and Sérénade mélancolique, they constitute a collection of glittering Tchaikovsky Treasures.
Guy Braunstein was the youngest person ever to be appointed concertmaster of the Berliner Philharmoniker in 2000, a position he held for twelve years before leaving to pursue his solo career.
On this album, Braunstein plays with the renowned BBC Symphony Orchestra, led by maestro Kirill Karabits.
Here is Mr. Braunstein in the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto:
