“I am honored to be part of the ongoing effort to bring Thomas de Hartmann’s works to life. When I first encountered his violin concerto, a work inspired by the toils of war, I was deeply struck by its soulful beauty – and shocked that such a work had received such little recognition.  The concerto is both heart-wrenching and uplifting, and is as gripping and relevant today as it was when it was composed in 1943.

I am especially grateful to be recording and performing this work with such talented and dedicated artistic partners as Dalia Stasevska and the Inso-Lviv Orchestra. Thanks to this project, Thomas de Hartmann’s music may touch the hearts of many more people, both in his homeland of Ukraine and around the world.”
