Raphaela Gromes releases new album "Imagination"

IMAGINATION – the sixth album by Opus Klassik winner Raphaela Gromes takes listeners on a romantic, virtuoso and musical journey into the world of fantasy. With her soulful and brilliant performance, the young cellist conjures up powerful images before the eyes and ears of listeners. Raphaela Gromes chose works for her musical journey around the world by composers from Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Russia, Hungary, France, the US and Canada. Several of the most beautiful and well-known works from the classical repertory were newly arranged for IMAGINATION, including the Sleeping Beauty Waltz by Tchaikovsky, the Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov, the Scherzo from Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Dvořák’s yearning-filled Song to the Moon, Humperdinck’s magical Evening Prayer from the opera Hansel and Gretel, as well as some tracks from famous movie soundtracks, like Bag End from Lord of the Rings and Leia’s Theme from Star Wars. All in all, 17 imaginative, poetic and highly virtuoso pieces are included on IMAGINATION. Many of the works chosen are from the world of fairy tales. To reflect the vivid colours of the pieces on the album arranged by pianist Julian Riem, Gromes invited many of her friends to collaborate on the album, including violinist Daniel Dodds, harpist Anaïs Gaudemard and the Arcis Saxophone Quartet.

"One Hour of Happiness" - Diapason d'or for Raphaela Gromes!

For the album "Klengel Schumann - Romantic Cello Concertos" Raphaela Gromes earned a Diapason d'or! The review says of Robert Schumann's Cello Concerto: "Elegance, commitment, technical perfection, expressiveness, dynamic and vibrato variety: there is nothing lacking here, especially since Nicholas Carter, as an excellent opera conductor, endows the orchestra with the sensitivity of a goldsmith while maintaining an ideal balance. So many qualities, combined to a rare degree of perfection, elevate this version to the rank of reference. " (Le Diapason, 02/2021, Michel Stockhem)
