the evening showed how he can fulfil his Musicality with Inspiration and strength of Imagination.”

(The Strad).

After seven fruitful years under the direction of Ernst Kovacic, it will be a next important move in the history of the Leopoldinum. New director will continue created by Kovacic artistic ideas and will also implement his new repertoire’s and performance style proposals.
The orchestra was shaped by few musical personalities but the most influential towards its artistic nature was Karol Teutsch who created a tradition of artistic director who can combine her/his performance virtuosity with conducting and can find and connect the best individual skills of orchestra’s musicians. Inviting Prof. Rohde is not only orchestra’s appreciations for his many artistic achievements but also belief into ensemble‘s tradition of artistic ideas, both: orchestra and artistic director.
Hartmut Rohde is professor for viola at the University of Arts (UdK) in Berlin since 1993. He is also visiting professor and Honorary Member at the Royal Academy of Music London, where he is teaching chamber music courses. Hartmut Rohde is lecturer at many international master classes throughout Europe, the USA, Australia and Asia. Through recognition in various Competitions like f.ex. 1st prize in the Deutschen Musikwettbewerb and prize-winner in the International Naumburg Competition in New York, 1991, Hartmut Rohde’s performing career has blossomed to be intense and richly international both in Europe and worldwide. Hartmut Rohde’s main interests lie in the historic analysis of various musical styles. New perspectives and experiences in the discussion of music serve as a basis for his unique style of interpretation.
As a soloist Hartmut Rohde has performed with orchestras under the direction of Kent Nagano, Paavo Järvi, Massimo Zanetti or Juozas Domarkas at the Berliner Festspiele, Salzburger Festspiele, Ravinia-Festival (Chicago), Concert du Louvre (Paris), Festival Pablo Casals (France), Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Beethoven Easter festival Warschau, and many others. As a much sought after chamber musician, he has played with Heinrich Schiff, David Geringas, Daniel Hope, Michel Lethiec, Jérémy Menuhin, the Tallich- Quartett, Vogler-Quartett, Vermeer-Quartett. Chamber orchestras he has worked with include: Münchner Kammerorchester, Mannheimer Kammerorchester, Berliner Kammerorchester or Lithauische Kammerorchester.
Always being open to new possibilities of conveying the language of music is an important aspect of life for him, which is what led Hartmut Rohde also to work in the spheres of Modern Music with such composers as Aribert Reimann, Wolfgang Rihm, Kristof Maratka, Krzysztof Penderecki, Jörg Widmann, Ursula Mamlok and Brett Dean.
His assignment during the year when Wroclaw will play a role as the European Capital of Culture (2016), will be very important in the history of the Leopoldinum.

[…] The Preludes and Fugue on 8.555270 is superbly intense, with all of the chamber-music sparkle and dramatic contrasts one could want from this piece. […] The strings of the Wroclaw Chamber Orchestra (Leopoldinum) do a superb job, though it is almost as if a tinge of Baroque historical performance style has entered their playing, with a cleaner tone and lesser degrees of vibrato when compared with Wit’s Polish National RS orchestra. I like both recordings and appreciate the fine qualities of this CD Accord production, but there are some gains to be had in the aforementioned intensity of the Naxos recording. It is where the eloquence of some passages in the Preludium 3 for instance, that the clarity of the Wroclaw playing begins to tell. The little pizzicato sections and fragmentary notes here and elsewhere also have a more natural, less self-conscious feel, and the spine-tingling sustained effects from Preludium 4 grow out of an emotional base which seems to have its roots in a far deeper and darker, more violent place. The final Fugabrings a catch to my throat and tears to my eyes in this recording, so good is it. […]
