Various Artists - Complete Oehms Classics Recordings - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

It was a long-standing wish to combine all 18 albums recorded by Benjamin Schmid into one because they yield an impressive mirror of this unique violinist's concert activities. The desire was given new impetus by the two magnificent new albums Benjamin Schmid approved for by OehmsClassics on the occasion of his fiftieth birthday in 2018. The prize-winning recordings of this set, covering almost five centuries, explain why Benjamin Schmid has been perceived by the music public not just as 'the specialist' in one individual field. Benjamin Schmid, a native of Vienna, has won a number of awards including the 1992 Carl Flesch Competition in London, where he also won the Mozart, Beethoven and audience prizes. Since then he has been a guest soloist in the world's most renowned concert halls with prestigious orchestras. His soloistic quality, the range of his repertoire, and especially his improvisatory abilities in jazz make him a violinist with a unique profile. Album Tracks 1. P.I. Tchaikovsky. A. Dvorak 2.
