This service is free of charge because we want to make our online performances as widely available as possible and hope to increase our audience for when, eventually, we can sit together in the concert hall again. However, it will come as no surprise that this is not a cheap option for us! We would therefore be immensely grateful if you would consider making a donation which, however small or large, will support our ongoing concerts.

My favorite recording now, this is beatiful!

Marvellous performance! I saw you arriving at Frankfurt main station on the 25th September but was too shy to welcome you ;-)

Beautiful viola playing. Although the sound tech seems lacking like others have reported😮

[@philipthonemann2524]

Piano too loud and viola not microphoned well; thus sounding distant and afar off. When are people and pianist going to realize that the viola is NOT a loud projective penitrating instrument. I am a professional violist and I know whereof what I speak.

[@philipthonemann2524]

Very true - the performance is fine but …

[@manfioviolas]

I remember the Hills, in their book on Antonio Stradivari, more than a century ago, saying that a full grand piano should never be played with a violin.

[@manfioviolas]

There is too much reverberation too...

[@nigelgoldberg7348]

Chill out guys, it's very fine playing but simply not a professional/studio recording
