Laura Netzel - Complete Works for Violin and Piano.

For over a century her music sat almost untouched. Laura Netzel was one of the first women to compose in nineteenth-century Sweden - and this is the complete works for violin and piano, recorded with pianist Aleksandra Dalalli and drawn from my doctoral research into her music. A world premiere recording, released on DUX.

What listeners and critics are saying.

Reflections from concert halls, recording studios and classrooms across Europe.

Agata is very musical, has a beautiful tone, phenomenal technique, and is reliable as well as an exceptionally pleasant leader. I would highly recommend her as a concertmaster or section leader.

Henrik Schaefer

Music Director, Folkoperan Stockholm
Associate Professor of Orchestral Conducting, Royal College of Music, Stockholm

An extremely competent concertmaster who always exudes calm and stability, while at the same time being a brilliant musician with great musicality and excellent solo qualities.

Johannes Pollak

Orchestra Manager, Folkoperan Stockholm

A reliable and dedicated musician who is always well-prepared and ready to meet the demands of the job. I am confident she will be an asset to any orchestra she joins.

Agata has a remarkable ability to convey specific knowledge about musical leadership in chamber music, enabling the ensemble to function as a single instrument.

From the Journal.

Notes from the studio and the road.

Pain is not part of the job.

Why aching and strain aren’t the cost of playing but a sign that technique is fighting the body - and how playing in agreement with your anatomy makes them mostly avoidable.
