Price: Sek. 155 On Homelands, violinist Rudens Turku brings together composers who each created unique musical evocations of their native countries. All were world travellers and found through their compositions the means to produce striking homages to their respective lands. The concept is familiar to Rudens, a native of Albania who at the age of 14 emigrated to Germany with nothing but a violin in his hands. These works have travelled with him since childhood and his inspired playing exhibits his innate understanding and wide range of musical and dramatic skills.
