It is an interesting program that Daniel Huppert and the Bergische Symphoniker have presented here. The 2nd Violin Concerto by Sergei Prokofiev (soloist: David Nebel), is combined with the Symphony No. 25 by Nikolai Myaskovsky. The program is completed by the arrangement of the piece "Masks" from Prokofiev's ballet "Romeo and Juliet" for violin and orchestra, made especially for this recording. David Nebel is in demand as a soloist, combining technical brilliance with mature musicality and an unmistakable tone. Highlights of past seasons include performances and recordings with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra, the Xiamen Philharmonic Orchestra, Orchestre Royal Philharmonique de Liège and the Lithuanian National Philharmonic. David performed as soloist with the Baltic Sea Philharmonic under Kristjan Järvi at the Finlandia Concert Hall (Helsinki), the Mariinsky Theatre 2 (St. Petersburg) and the Estonia Concert Hall (Tallinn). With the London Symphony Orchestra, Nebel and Järvi recorded together at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London.
