Kyung Wha Chung - Con Amore

Cut to lacquer by Maarten de Boer at Emil Berliner Studios

Imported double 180-gram Analogphonic LP pressed at Pallas in Germany

Violinist Kyung Wha Chung and pianist Phillip Moll perform compositional works by Brahms, Kreisler and Elgar among others. Kyung Wha Chung's dazzling and probing artistry has made her one of classical music's most acclaimed performers for more than 30 years. Lauded for her passion, her musicality and the intense excitement that she brings to her performances, Chung's uniquely expressive interpretations of the violin literature have established her as an artist of the very highest stature.

Among the many recordings in which accompanist/ensemble pianist Phillip Moll has taken part in are the Brahms German Requiem with the Berlin Radio Chorus, Piano Trios of Dvorák and Suk with the Berlin Philharmonic Piano Trio, vocal duets with Paul-Armin and Peter Edelmann, Gypsy Songs with Renée Morloc, Rossini's Petite Messe Solennelle with the RIAS Chamber Choir, Opera Fantasies with wind soloists of La Scala, compositions of Schubert and Bartók with violinist Andrea Duka Löwenstein, and a programme of shorter pieces with Sir James Galway.

"A regular Solti partner, the violinist Kyung Wha Chung, crops up in a solo disc with the pianist Philip Moll. Chung's rather Cossack couture on the cover might suggest a disc of Russian repertoire but "Con amore" is devoted to bonbons by Elgar, Kreisler, Wieniawski et al. It's a delightful program balancing faultless technique, superb musicianship and, above all, the ability to pitch these charming miniatures at exactly the right level." — James Jolly, Gramophone
