| Augustin Dumay | ||
 |
Augustin Dumay is one of the last representatives of the great European classical tradition and, in particular, of its Franco- Belgian branch previously embodied by Ysaÿe and Grumiaux. He first came to the attention of the European public after meeting Herbert von Karajan, giving concerts with the Berlin Philharmonic and making several recordings for EMI, including the concertos of Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky with the London Symphony Orchestra. His distinctive place as a ‘grand classical stylist’ among violinists of our time has been corroborated by his outstanding recordings of the Mozart concertos with the Camerata Academica Salzburg and Beethoven’s complete sonatas for violin and piano with Maria João Pires for Deutsche Grammophon. |
