On May 27, 2025, Fedor Rudin began recording a new album with the Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, featuring orchestral works by Hungarian-British composer Mátyás Seiber. The recording, set to be released on the hänssler CLASSIC label, features several pieces that have never been recorded before.

‍

Known for his remarkable stylistic range, Seiber was a pioneering 20th-century voice whose music effortlessly bridges classical form, jazz language, and modernist invention. The featured program includes Tre Pezzi for cello and orchestra, Elegie for viola and small orchestra, Pastorale und Burleske for flute and strings, Concertino for clarinet and strings, Notturno for horn and strings, and Quatre chansons populaires françaises for soprano and string orchestra.

‍

Fedor Rudin is joined this week by an outstanding group of soloists: Katharina Ruckgaber (soprano), Pirmin Grehl (flute), Hervé Joulain (horn), Roland Glassl (viola).

‍

The recording will continue in October. This project reflects Rudin’s ongoing dedication to uncovering lesser-known repertoire and bringing new perspectives to 20th-century music.

‍

On May 22 and 23, 2025, Fedor Rudin returns to Musikhuset Aarhus as a soloist in Maurice Ravel's Tzigane, performing with the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Dmitry Matvienko, the orchestra's newly appointed Chief Conductor.

‍

These concerts are part of the Ravel Festival, a celebration of the composer's vivid sound world. Tzigane, written in 1924, is one of Ravel's most distinctive concertante works-an homage to the style and spirit of Romani music, demanding both lyrical sensitivity and virtuosic flair from the soloist.

On May 18, 2025, Fedor Rudin performs in a special chamber concert as part of the Ravel Festival at Musikhuset Aarhus, Denmark. Together with renowned pianist Alexandre Tharaud and esteemed cellist Eugene Hye-Knudsen, he presents a rich and refined program exploring the inner world of French music at the turn of the 20th century.

‍

The program includes Debussy’s final work, the poetic Sonata for Violin and Piano, as well as Ravel’s enigmatic Sonata for Violin and Cello. Tharaud, one of France’s most admired pianists, will also perform solo works by Ravel, Satie, and his own dazzling transcription of Dukas’ The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

‍

This concert offers a rare opportunity to hear three exceptional musicians in an intimate setting, bringing to life the subtle colors, rhythmic energy, and emotional depth of some of France’s most iconic composers.
