AVROTROS VIRTUOOS talents

The AVROTROS talent program VIRTUOOS gives young classical music talents a significant boost at the start of their careers. The talents gain media experience on radio and television and build their portfolio with the recording and release of their debut CD. Three young AVROTROS VIRTUOOS top talents (violinist Hawijch Elders, pianist Ivan Petrenko, and cellist Stefano Bruno) showcase their best under the inspiring guidance of the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra.

C.Ph.E. Bach, Tchaikovsky, Saint-Saëns and Shostakovich

Violist Hawijch Elders shines in the lyrical splendor of Tchaikovsky's Méditation and Saint-Saëns' extraordinarily virtuos virtuoso Introduction et rondo capriccioso . Ivan Petrenko provides the fresh liveliness of Shostakovich's Second Piano Concerto , and Stefano Bruno steps into the spotlight with the virtuos virtuoso and dazzling Third Cello Concerto by C.Ph.E. Bach. Both of these latter pieces contrast their cheerful nature with an unearthly beautiful slow movement, in which the two soloists make their instruments sing.
