About

Violinist sisters Angela and Jennifer Chun explore together the repertoire for two violins. For this recording they have assembled 20th-century works from the most varied of horizons. From the Soviet Russia of Shostakovich, by way of the American exile of Czech Martinu and Frenchman Darius Milhaud, their programme finally brings them back to their own Korean roots with the Sonatina and Pezzo Fantasioso of Isang Yun, presented here in their world premiere recording.
 
Violinists Angela and Jennifer Chun's musical interpretations have brought them to international attention as a concert duo. Winners of several major competitions, they have introduced their virtuosic artistry through acclaimed concerts in America, Europe and Asia.
 
After graduating from the Juilliard School, Angela and Jennifer Chun continued their studies with Nathan Milstein in Switzerland. Following their successful debut concert at Carnegie recital Hall, the duo has performed at international festivals and at the Kennedy Center in Washington with the National Symphony Orchestra at the invitation of Leonard Slatkin.
 
Instruments:
Angela Chun - Domenico Montagnana violin 1734
Jennifer Chun - Amati 1662, 'The Goding'
