The Tonkunstler Orchestra’s new recording "String Serenade" is its first recording to feature only the orchestra’s string players. The Italian word «serenata» encompasses two terms: la sera, "eve-ning" and sereno, "serene". Mozart’s model for the instrumental serenade continued to inspire composers even into the Romantic and post-Romantic epochs, among them Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Ottorino Respighi. Two of Tchaikovsky’s most famous works, the String Serenade in C major and the «Andante cantabile» of his First String Quartet, here in its orchestral version, can be heard on this album. To complement them, the Tonkunstler’s Music Director, Yutaka Sado, chose the 1953 composition «Triptyque» by Yasushi Akutagawa. All these works were recorded in the outstanding acoustics of the concert hall of the Grafenegg Auditorium. The eighth album production of the in-house label "Tonkünstler-Orchester" once again features trilingual artwork, giving music-lovers the opportunity to deepen their listening experience in German, English or Japanese.
