You like lobster? Or perhaps prefer figs? A bit of liver paté, a crème brûlée? You’ll find all of that on the new GENUIN CD from the series with German Music Council prize winners! One musical delight follows the other; the just 22-year-old cellist Maximilian Hornung and his piano partner Gerhard Vielhaber play Brahms, serve us Saint-Saëns and Ginastera, offer Beethoven and Janáček. Whoever looks forward to a sample of this young, brilliant duo has come to the right place, as has the music-lover on the lookout for new recordings of well-known and unknown cello works. Everything shines and dazzles, is technically flawless and musically outstanding. One’s mouth really begins to water – hopefully the two young musicians will soon be playing a live concert nearby…
At 22 years of age, Maximilian Hornung tackles the stylistically wide-ranging programme simply magnificently, with a slender, flexible and at the same time incredibly energetic and vital tone, red-hot emphasis and an eminently fine sense of sound. (Partituren 7/8 2008)
