Over the years, TC has collaborated with well-known international artists such as pianists Fou Ts’ong, Robert Levin, and Michael Endres; violinist Dong-Suk Kang and Marc Danel; violists Nobuko Imai, Paul Neubauer, and Rainer Moog; and cellists Jian Wang, Nathaniel Rosen, Wen-Sinn Yang, Keith Robinson and Sung-Won Yang. In addition to presenting concerts in formal venues, TC regularly organizes master classes and educational outreach programs held throughout Taiwan. Expanding on the principle of chamber music, a string orchestra was formed for the TC Festival in 2007. Two years later, a full complement of winds was incorporated to launch the TC Chamber Orchestra. This conductor-less ensemble, led by Music Director Nai-Yuan Hu, has tackled such works as Beethoven’s Symphonies Nos. 3, 5, 7; Brahms’s Second and Fourth Symphonies; Mozart’s late G Minor Symphony; and Schubert’s C Major Symphony (the Great) to critical acclaim. 2019 was a special year, as the TC Chamber Orchestra was joined by such international luminaries as Andrew Bain, horn principal of the Los Angeles Philharmonic; Ole Akahoshi, cellist of the Horszowski Trio and the Yale University School of Music; Göran Marcusson, Swedish flutist; Akinobu Yoda, bassoonist from Japan, and also three double bassists, Naomi Shaham from Israel (the newly appointed principal of the Leipzig Gewandhaus), Hans Kunstovny from Austria, and Andrew Sommer from the US; and finally Francesco Porta of Italy on tuba and Sebastian Efler from Austria on timpani. The present recording is the fruit of this international collaboration. Felix Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64 1 I. Allegro molto appassionato 2 II. Andante 3 III.
