Echoes of Paris: Augustin Hadelich (violin) and Robert Kulek (piano) play Poulenc, Stravinsky, Debussy, and Prokofiev

His sensational debut on Avie Records, Flying Solo (AV 2180), catapulted Augustin Hadelich from a highly respected and acclaimed position in the classical music world into an ever-widening and adoring circle of fans who drove the album into the Billboard Classical Chart. Debuts with the Cleveland Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic, return performances with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Indianapolis Symphony, his UK debut at the Sage Gateshead, and major feature coverage in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and others have propelled his profile to an all-time high.

Echoes of Paris is Hadelich’s first chamber music recording and makes intriguing connections between the Frenchmen Debussy and Poulenc and the Russians Prokofiev and Stravinsky, both of whom travelled to Paris and were heavily influenced by the city’s electric atmosphere and cultural scene. Hadelich comments: ‘I have chosen the four works on this album primarily because they fit so well together… the “echoes of Paris” that tie them together include puppetry, percussion, marches, and jazz references.’

His riveting performance of these striking twentieth-century works will captivate the public and continue to broaden his outstanding reputation.
