Our two Polish musicians shatter all labels! They tackle the genius of both Bach and Piazzolla with equal passion. Born in 1984, Krzysztof Meisinger is one of the most exceptional and charismatic classical guitarists on today’s international music scene. Acclaimed by critics and audiences worldwide, he collaborates with the elite of the classical music world, including Sumi Jo, the Philharmonia Quartett Berlin, and the legendary Academy of St. Martin in the Fields. His artistic sensibility has been compared to that of Piotr Anderszewski and Pepe Romero, while his musical heritage traces back to masters such as Aniello Desiderio and Christopher Parkening. He performs on the world’s most prestigious stages—from Tokyo to Los Angeles and Buenos Aires—appearing in venues such as the Musikverein in Vienna, the Berlin Philharmonie, Wigmore Hall, the Théâtre du Châtelet, the Tokyo International Forum, and the Polish National Opera in Warsaw... Under an exclusive contract with CHANDOS Records, his debut album *Elogio de la Guitarra* was named “Best of 2021” by AllMusic and hailed as one of the world’s finest classical releases. Ranked among the most-streamed classical guitarists worldwide, his album *Mystique* has amassed nearly six million streams on Spotify. In 2022, the British platform uDiscoverMusic named Krzysztof Meisinger among the 20 greatest classical guitarists of all time, placing him alongside icons such as Andrés Segovia, Julian Bream, and Francisco Tárrega. Born in Poland in 1995, violinist Magdalena Heinz has held the prestigious position of permanent concertmaster at the Deutsche Oper Berlin since 2019. She trained at the Berlin University of the Arts, where she earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees with honors, and then continued her studies at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus until 2022. A well-rounded musician and multi-instrumentalist, she also holds advanced degrees in piano and organ. A laureate of numerous international competitions, she notably won First Prize at the Young Paganini Competition and the Grand Prize Virtuoso. Her career has led her to perform regularly as a soloist—notably at the Berlin Philharmonie starting at the age of twenty—as well as with leading ensembles such as the Staatskapelle Berlin and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra under the direction of Daniel Barenboim, the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra, and the Bayreuth Festival Orchestra.
