"Hallmarks of this chamber ensemble are its youthful liveliness and
enthusiastic commitment to expressing the composer's intentions as vividly
as possible" wrote the leading German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
about the "Bayerische Kammerphilharmonie". Founded in 1990, this ensemble
consists of young musicians who devote themselves above all to
non-repertoire works, contemporary music and imaginative musical projects.
This special concert recorded at the Mozartwoche 2000 reflects the
ensemble's interest in showcasing not only the talent of gifted young
soloists, but also the rare and unique instruments on which they are
playing.
Under the distinguished American conductor Philip Greenberg, the ensemble
performs J.S. Bach's Concerto for three violins and orchestra with Dmitri
Makhtin, Igor Malinovsky and the widely noted young French violinist and
winner of the "European Cultural Award" David Grimal as soloists on
priceless violins dating from the early 18th century. Grimal plays the
Antonio Stradivari "ex Roederer", Cremona, 1710; Makhtin the Giuseppe
Guarneri del Gesù, "Lord Coke", Cremona, 1744; Malinovsky the Carlo
Bergonzi, Cremona, 1732.
