Augustin Dumay’s third CD for ONYX sees him as both conductor and violinist. His Saint-Saens was his first recording with his Japanese orchestra and was very well received by the critics; The Daily Telegraph described it as ‘impassioned’. His second disc, with Louis Lortie of sonatas by Franck & Strauss is one of the great chamber music releases of 2013 receiving rave reviews internationally.
Here on his latest CD we have the deliciously good natured 1st Serenade by Brahms, an early work stuffed full of great tunes, and some early Beethoven: his popular Romances for violin and orchestra – one of which may have been the second movement to his unfinished C major concerto.
