Zlatomir Fung - Video

With support from his 2022 BBT Fellowship, cellist Zlatomir Fung’s debut recording, on Signum Classics, is built around 19th and 21st century operatic fantasies. During lockdown Zlatomir discovered the wealth of cello repertoire based on operatic themes. Together with such examples as music from Donizetti’s La Fille du Régiment, Rossini’s Guillaume Tell, Tchaikovsky’s Eugene Onegin and Wagner’s Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, Zlatomir adds his own Fantasia from Jánaček’s Jenůfa and Marshall Estrin’s Fantasia Carmèn, composed especially for him. He is joined on the piano by Richard Fu. The recording is released on 25 April 2025 (SIGCD882).
