His recording of Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas was also enthusiastically received by the press and nominated for a Grammy. In his latest recording, Recuerdos, together with the WDR Sinfonieorchester, he devotes himself to works by Britten, Prokofiev, and Sarasate.

Hadelich, a dual American-German citizen born in Italy to German parents, studied with Joel Smirnoff at New York’s Juilliard School.
