4/4 productionsJimin Oh-Havenith plays Schumann

In this series, pianist Jimin Oh-Havenith presents her personal perspective on Robert Schumann, whose contribution to romantic piano music is unparalleled, particularly so his series of masterpieces composed between 1830 and 1839. Oh-Havenith's playing, both powerful and nuanced, beautifully realises the unique richness of this music.

7 of 8 productionsBeethoven Complete String Quartets with Quartetto di Cremona

During the past ten years, the Quartetto di Cremona has matured into a string quartet of international radiance, uniting Italian string culture with an awareness of historical performance practice. Having been trained both by Piero Farulli of the Quartetto Italiano and Hatto Beyerle of the Alban Berg Quartet, the performance culture of the Quartetto di Cremona moves in a special tension between Italian and German- Austrian influences. A very passionate, emotional manner of playing is united with a marked feeling for musical architecture, cultivating the merging of structure and expression, of external form and internal passion. This ensemble has thus developed into one of the most highly profiled and imaginative in Europe.
This position is documented by the series begun by audite of the complete Beethoven string quartets - a cycle that has always been a touchstone for all quartets.

at present 10 productionsThe composers Eduard and Richard Franck

This series, consisting of 10 parts at present, is a rediscovery of the composers Eduard and Richard Franck. Both father Eduard, a pupil of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and close friend of Robert Schumann, and his son Richard were celebrated pianists and composers during their lifetimes. The influences of the famous teacher and friend are unmistakeably reflected in their works, but unlike the works of Mendelssohn Bartholdy, their compositions lost all public interest as history progressed and, with it, admittance to the canon of traditional music literature as well.
Thus this audite series - dedicated to the various groups of works, from different chamber combinations to orchestral works - contains exclusively world premiere recordings.

4 of 4 productionsGéza Anda Edition

The four-part series, largely consisting of so far unreleased studio and concert recordings of the WDR Cologne from the years 1952 to 1970, closes a gap in the discography of the Hungarian Géza Anda, one of the most important pianists of the second half of the 20th century.
With piano compositions from three epochs - including works of Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Liszt, Schumann, Chopin and Bartók - Anda presents a representative cross-section of his wide repertoire, revealing himself not only as an exceptional pianist free of any form of romanticisation, but also as a conductor.
