Info for Pohádka

Eminent cellist David Geringas and Ian Fountain, an exceptional pianist and sensitive chamber music partner, have been playing together as a duo for many years. Together they developed this mostly Czech programme telling sonorous fairy tales: Pohádkas, as they are called in Czech - stories from other places and times. Dvorak, Janacek and Suk come from Bohemia and Moravia, and even Mahler, though considered an Austrian composer, was born in Czech Kalischt and grew up in Iglau.

David Geringas is one of the world’s leading cellists. He studied under Mstislav Rostropovich and won the Tchaikovsky Competition in 1974. Moving to Germany, he taught in Hamburg, Lübeck, and from 2000-2009 at the ‘Hanns Eisler’ Music Academy in Berlin, all the while pursuing an acclaimed career as a soloist. He has made over 100 CDs, including eight previous recordings for the ES-Dur label. Geringas and his accompanist of many years Ian Fountain received an Echo Classic for their last ES-Dur album, ‘Pohádka’ (ES2045).

„Geringas’s programme sets off to Josef Suk’s Ballade and Serenade, music that is by turns passionate and playful, proceeds via Suk’s father-in-law Dvořák (the poetic Silent Woods, the lilting Rondo and that lyrical perennial ‘Songs my mother taught me’) to the teasing antics of the hugely imaginative Pohádka by Janáček. All the performances are expertly dispatched from a technical standpoint, as well as musically satisfying and well recorded; and if the programme context appeals, I can’t imagine you being disappointed.“ (Gramophone)
