Brahms, Schumann & Franck: Sonatas - Rudens Turku, Milana Chernyavska (HYBRID SACD)

In a continuing commitment to young artists, Avie is delighted to announce a new association with the sensational young violinist Rudens Turku. Wherever he performs, Rudens enthralls audiences and captivates critics. The Albanian-born, German-resident 26-year-old impresses with his steadfast technique, masterful musical style and engaging personality. His debut disc on Avie includes three mainstays of the central European repertoire, Schumann's Sonata No. 1, Brahms' Sonata No. 2, and the Franck Sonata. Born into a musical family, Rudens emigrated from Albania at the age of 14 with nothing but a violin in his hand. He rapidly rose through the musical ranks and graduated with distinction from Munich's Academy for Music and Theater. His career has since taken him on tours throughout Germany as well as to France, Italy, Luxemburg, Spain, Switzerland and the United States. Rudens is partnered on his Avie debut by the outstanding young Russian pianist Milana Chernyavska.
