Cellomania: Raphaela Gromes Plays Dvořák

EVENT DESCRIPTION

German cellist Raphaela Gromes attracted attention early on with intelligently designed programmes and exciting world premiere recordings, for example with the rediscovery of Offenbach’s “Hommage á Rossini”, Richard Strauss’s first cello sonata, or the cello concertos by Julius Klengel and Matilde Capuis.
