• Mozart Year 2006

• The brother and sister duo Gil & Orli Shaham perform a selection of violin sonatas by the Austrian master in the Palais Daun-Kinsky in Vienna. This recording is brimming with energy and fearlessness, tempered by a deep understanding of - and respect for - the music

• Violinist Gil Shaham is internationally recognized by audiences and critics alike as one of today's most virtuosic and engaging classical artists. In 1998, he won a Grammy Award for his recital album American Scenes with Andre Previn at the piano. He is sought after throughout the world for concerto appearances with celebrated orchestras and conductors, as well as for recital and ensemble appearances on the great concert stages and at the most prestigious festivals

• Pianist Orli Shaham has established an impressive international reputation as one of today's most gifted pianists. Recent seasons have included debuts with the Cleveland, Philadelphia, Saint Louis and San Francisco Symphony Orchestras

• While Orli and Gil are less than five years apart in age, they suprisingly have not performed together in public as often as one would suspect. Apparently, their parents discouraged them from doing so, since Orli, as she explains, was "just ready to come out of the sandbox" when Gil was already having a big career. So, instead of tagging along with her big brother, Orli has become a renowned and respected concert pianist in her own right

• Brand new recording - state-of-the-art quality
