"For unusually solid playing, well thought-out musical interpretation, total technical control and outstanding tone quality." With that motivation Jakob Koranyi won the prestigious Soloist Prize in the final that took place in Norrköping on April 22, 2006.
The Soloist Prize, whose main purpose is to present some of Sweden's most prominent young musicians, is arranged biennially by, among others, the Royal Swedish Academy of Music and Concerts Sweden. The winner receives 100.000 SEK, and gets to do a tour for Concerts Sweden and record an album to be released on Caprice Records.
Jakob Koranyi, who won the competition with his brilliant performance of Prokofiev's Sinfonia Concertante, has studied in Cologne for Frans Helmerson. He holds a degree from thematic studies at Edsberg Manor, and a Post Degree of Performance at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. He received the Prix d'Honneur at the Verbier Festival which led to a three year residency with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in New York. He is a frequent soloist with various orchestras, but he is also very active in chamber musical contexts.
On this recording, which is a part of the prize, Jakob Koranyi gives us Benjamin Britten's imaginative sonata in C major, György Ligeti's challenging sonata for solo cello and Johannes Brahms's popular cello sonata in e minor. He is accompanied by the pianist Peter Friis Johansson, who has studied at the Master's Programme at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm for Staffan Scheja and Anders Kilström. In 2007 Peter won the Young Soloist/Solofoni prize in Helsingborg.
