About

While he was still a student, Rudens Turku established the Starnberg Music Days. Over the past twenty years this renowned festival south of Munich featuring an attractive combination of master classes and top quality concerts has become a highlight of the musical spring season.

To celebrate its twentieth anniversary, Turku has brought together an illustrious company of teachers and soloists for an ambitious project: chamber music on the large scale and with musicians numbering among the best in their fields.

The Nonet by Louis Spohr is performed here by nine outstanding chamber musicians; the violin part is of daredevil virtuosity which is no problem for Rudens Turku. Ulf-Guido Schäfer arranged Antonín Dvořák’s uncommonly popular American Suite especially for this occasion. It is astonishing how a mere eight musicians can and do make Dvořák’s orchestral colours shine.

Turku, a native of Albania shares his solo part with the star trumpeter Matthias Höfs in Wolf Kerschek’s Festival Rhapsody, a genuinely festive arrangement with influences from Star Wars to Stravinsky. Recorded on SACD in surround sound, it offers a magnificent virtual space which unfolds in a genuine three dimensions, even in the smallest living room. Filled with splendid music, spatial bounds seem to vanish.
