Carmen Fantasy
Some violinists places their bets on bravura for their debut productions and play Paganini & Co. Others rely on seriousness, playing Bach & Brahms. But Tobias Feldmann, not yet 25, goes the whole hog: on his first GENUIN CD there are heavy weights like Beethoven and Bartók, alternating with Eugène Ysaye and the magicals leight of hand for violin by FranzWaxman–his Carmen-Fantasy was composed for Jascha Heifetz. Flawless technique, unspoilt, natural musicianship and a comprehensive idea of what a violinist should represent on stage: the multiple prizewinner and former concertmaster of the Bundesjugendorchester (Federal Youth Orchestra) presents himself here as a mature artist!
Fanfare
"... a burst of virtuosic energy... Strongly recommended."

American Record Guide
"Feldmann is a very good, very nimble violinist; (...) he is a master of the virtuoso repertoire, where temperament and individual style count for everything, and he lavishes this piece with those."
