On June 27, this year's ICMAs were awarded in Vaduz and numerous prize winners were presented in a top-class gala concert with the Lichtenstein Symphony Orchestra (SOL) under Yaron Traub. Also audite was again honored with an International Classical Music Award (ICMA): The jury's choice in the category "Chamber Music" was the production Fantasque with Franziska Pietsch (violin) and Josu De Solaun (piano). As Josu De Solaun was unfortunately unable to attend the event, Franziska Pietsch performed as soloist with the orchestra. She shone in Ravel's "Tzigane" and once again proved her outstanding musical and technical abilities.

May 18, 2021 | Sabine Wiedemann | News audite jubilees in May

In May, three audite artists and composers celebrate their anniversaries: May 18th is the 110th anniversary of Gustav Mahler's death, as well as the 50th birthday of Swedish soprano Camilla Tilling; and May 20th is the 125th anniversary of Clara Schumann's death. Enough reason to point out the audite productions of the jubilees:

* Gustav Mahler, e.g. the legendary live recordings with Rafael Kubelik and the Symphonie-Orchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks;

* Camilla Tilling in Grieg's 6 Orchestral Songs (WDR Sinfonieorchester / Eivind Aadland), available as Vol. V of "Grieg - Complete Syphonic Works" or as part of the 5-SACD boxed set.

* Clara Schumann with her Piano Trio in G minor. (Swiss Piano Trio).

We hope you will enjoy these recordings!
