Jakub Hrůša, conductor
Celebrated for her singing tone, exceptional technique, and deeply expressive musicianship, violinist Bomsori returns to Deutsche Grammophon with her eagerly awaited second solo album. Bruch & Korngold highlights her lyrical artistry and emotional depth through two masterpieces for violin and orchestra – Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 and Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Violin Concerto. With her radiant sound, natural phrasing, and virtuosity, Bomsori brings a uniquely personal voice to these beloved works.
Furthermore, these recordings of the concertos and two shorter pieces by Korngold capture the remarkable chemistry that sprang up between the violinist, the Bamberger Symphoniker and its Chief Conductor Jakub Hrůša over three days of recording in Bamberg’s Joseph-Keilberth-Saal.
