“The Saint-Saëns is a dreamy, imaginative piece that features quite an unusual set of instruments with the violin and harp. It can be separated into five distinct sections, each section having its own unique characteristic,” says Ewald Cheung, ESO Violin I.

Featuring ESO Principal Harpist Nora Bumanis and ESO Violinist Ewald Cheung, this release is now available to ESO Virtual Stage subscribers.

Our first solo recording in our Virtual Stage series is by Rafael Hoekman, ESO Principal Cello. Watch his breathtaking performance of Bach's "Chaconne" from the Partita No. 2. Composer Johannes Brahms famously described the piece as "one of the most wonderful and most incomprehensible pieces of music."
