"Absolutely rock-'em-sock-'em, mesmerizingly perfect"
(Jay Nordlinger, New York Chronicle)
By receiving the 2nd Grand Prix at the 2009 Rostropovich Competition in Paris, the young Swedish cellist Jakob Koranyi firmly established himself on the classical music scene as one of Europe's most interesting young soloists. An earlier recipient of numerous awards from international festivals and foundations, such as Le Prix d'Honneur and Ferminich Prize from the Verbier Festival, Jakob Koranyi now continues to build his career as one of the ECHO (European Concert Hall Organization) Rising Stars of 11/12. Koranyi was also awarded the newly founded Norwegian Soloist Prize in 2011.
