and Julian Jacobson (piano)
The violin-piano duo of Susanne Stanzeleit and Julian Jacobson offers a rare combination of technical mastery and communicative vitality. Reviews have constantly focused on their remarkable sense of ensemble and their intuitive rapport in a wide range of styles.
"The best playing I heard at Dartington came in ... a recital by the violinist Susanne Stanzeleit and pianist Julian Jacobson..." Michael White, Independent on Sunday 11/8/96
Their enormous and challenging repertoire, spanning three centuries of violin and piano music, embraces works of contemporary masters such as Elliot Carter, Lutoslawski, Kurtág, Arvo Pärt, Michael Nyman and John Adams, with many works by younger composers, some written especially for them, as well as the great classical literature, including the complete duos of Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Debussy and Ravel.
"...irresistible... Stanzeleit and Jacobson give powerful, virtuoso performances of the widely contrasted pieces..." BBC Music Magazine
Barely five years old, the Duo has already performed in Germany, Japan, Greece, Bulgaria Macedonia, Latvia, China, Nigeria and throughout the UK, has broadcast Classic FM and BBC Radio 3, and has made several highly-praised CD's for Cala and Meridian.
"...as persuasive as one could wish...the present account of , Vaughan Williams's Sonata has vibrancy and passion. . . extremely rewarding..." Gramophone 7/96
