About

Michał Balas passionately presents two cello concertos by Joseph Haydn. The young Polish cellist devotes himself to the C major and D major Concertos, which are highly esteemed among cellists. ‘All cellists were brought up to play these pieces with great respect - like Bach's cello suites or Beethoven's sonatas,’ says Balas, who is on the threshold of a global career and is studying in Basel. With his debut album, he brings a fresh perspective to this repertoire. In collaboration with conductor Christian Erny and the Kurpfälzisches Kammerorchester Mannheim, Balas reinterprets the Haydn concertos with courage and confidence. His individual cadenzas show his personal perspective. The recording shows an outstanding performance and intensive exchange. Balas sets a new milestone in his musical journey.
