This captivating new recording by violinist Viviane Hagner brings together two composers whose music seems at first glance to come from completely different worlds - and yet reveals remarkable artistic affinities. Max Bruch, a pillar of German Romanticism, and Alexandre Tansman, a cosmopolitan Polish composer who spent a large part of his life in France, share a special talent for melody and expressive music for melody and expressive nuances. Together with the Poznan Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Lukasz Borowicz, Hagner presents radiant interpretations of Bruch's Concert Piece and the popular "Kol Nidrei" as well as Tansman's rarely heard Violin Concerto and the "Cinq Pieces pour violon et petit orchestre". Recorded in July 2025 at the Philharmonie Poznan, the album highlights the rich cultural connections between German and Polish musical traditions, as well as the composers' shared appreciation of their Jewish heritage. With her luminous tone and fine musical intuition, Viviane Hagner brings these works to life with emotional depth and great precision. This album invites you to rediscover two remarkable composers - and to experience the beauty and diversity of a repertoire that deserves far more attention.
