Info zu Ysaÿe: 6 Sonatas for Solo Violin, Op. 27

Not quite seven years of age, Eduard began studying the violin at a music school in Prague, while his parents taught him the piano. Within a mere two years he was performing to huge acclaim as a soloist with the PKF – Prague Philharmonia. For his program he chose one of Johann Sebastian Bach’s violin concertos and a piano concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, playing both during a single concert.

For this debut album he has chosen the iconic 6 Sonatas Op.27 for Solo Violin by Eugène Ysaÿe.

Eduard Kollert, violin

Eduard Kollert
Born in October 2002. He was born into a family of musicians – his parents are pianists. His own point of initiation came when he heard his father accompany the violinist Josef Suk.

Not quite seven years of age, Eduard began studying the violin at a music school in Prague, while his parents taught him the piano. Within a mere two years he was performing to huge acclaim as a soloist with the PKF – Prague Philharmonia; for his programme he chose one of Johann Sebastian Bach's violin concertos and a piano concerto by Ludwig van Beethoven, playing both during a single concert.

This led to an invitation by the Spanish royal family to perform at the Palacio Real de El Pardo in Madrid, where he excelled with a solo programme for both violin and piano. The following day the concert organisers introduced him to Zakhar Bron, who invited him to attend the new Zakhar Bron Akademie in the Swiss town of Interlaken. Eduard has been studying with professor Bron since then and he continues his studies at the Reina Sofía School of Music in Madrid.

Eduard is the top prize laureate at various international competitions – the Young Virtuosos held in Bulgaria, the «Nutcracker» TV contest in Russia to name just a few of them.

He regularly plays at concerts and festivals in Europe, Russia, Jordan and Japan at events like Interlaken Classics, Moscow Meets Friends, Young Prague, Bohuslav Martinů Festival and Prague Spring Festival. Eduard is often invited by orchestras for concerto performances.

He has been the guest of numerous TV and radio programmes. In December 2020 he appeared in a multi-episodic TV Talent Show «Virtuosos» alongside world stars like Plácido Domingo, Thomas Gottschalk or Ida Nowakowska. Eduard also stars in a new documentary film «Talent».
