  • Download Augustin Dumay Biography
    Augustin Dumay International critics have compared Augustin Dumay to the great violinists of the 20th century, describing him as a “great classical stylist”, a reputation underscored by his outstanding recordings for Deutsche Grammophon: Beethoven’s complete sonatas with Maria João Pires, a set that “surely ranks with Grumiaux/Haskil, Menuhin/Kempff, or Perlman/Ashkenazy” (International Piano), Brahms’ trios in which “the Milstein legacy in Dumay’s playing is wonderfully apparent” (Gramophone), and Mozart’s concertos with the Camerata Salzburg, “without exaggeration one of the finest Mozart violin concerto discs ever made” (Classic CD), in which he “confirms that he is an exceptional interpreter of Mozart as were Stern or Grumiaux before him” (Classica). Born into a family of musicians – his mother is a cellist and pianist, his father an amateur violinist – Augustin Dumay started violin lessons at the age of 5, after attending a concert by Nathan Milstein. Aged ten, he entered the Paris Conservatoire, winning the premier prix at the age of thirteen. His first concert at the Théâtre des Champs- Élysée followed a year later and he then appeared at the Montreux Festival, playing for Joseph Szigeti and Henryk Szeryng, who invited him to replace him on a tour of South America. On his return, Augustin Dumay worked in Paris with Nathan Milstein, who said of him: “I believe he will take his place amongt the great violinists of the year 2000”. He then went on to work in Brussels with Arthur Grumiaux for five years. He soon became familiar to concert audiences in France, but his international career took off thanks to his encounter with Herbert von Karajan.

  • In Wonderland UNITEL and CLASSICA Present
    UNITEL and CLASSICA present Unsuk Chin’s Alicein Wonderland UNITEL and CLASSICA present AliceUnsuk Chin’s in Wonderland avel, Handel, Elgar, Stravinsky, a snippet of Puccini‘s “Turandot,“ a bass-clarinet homage to George Gershwin, R glissandi, hints of musicals, film music and Gilbert & Sullivan – Unsuk Chin is a master of stylistic parody, but also much more than that: she is clearly at home on every highway and byway of music history. Yet the musical house she con- structs with the building blocks of the past and the present is definitely her own house, which she has designed and which self-assuredly proclaims her unmistakable individuality and style. It is a thoroughly modern house that welcomes every- one who loves music. “I did not want to write music that needs several pages of explanations to be understood,“ she says about her first opera, “Alice in Wonderland.“ Unsuk Chin, born in Seoul, Korea, in 1961, had always been fascinated by Lewis Carroll‘s fairy tale for children and adults. Director Achim Freyer, whose productions have been Alice setting standards for decades, sees Chin‘s opera as a collection of “dream sequences,“ for which he has created imaginary spaces: with the help of pulleys, acrobats depict the magical characters of Alice‘s world and suggest the action through from the Bayerische Staatsoper pantomime, and with the help of colorful masks and props. “Nightmare visions of the girl. Dream, reality, hyperreality fuse together, everything is theater, transformation,“ says Freyer. Music by Unsuk Chin The characters themselves are sung by vocalists (outstanding: Conductor Kent Nagano Andrew Watts as White Rabbit) sitting in a row at the front of the stage wearing Lewis Carroll masks.
