Rudolf Koelman http://www.koelman.ch/ , violinist.com member http://www.violinist.com/directory/bio.cfm?member=Koelman and Heifetz pupil had won the public price in the Netherlands for his cd of the 1th + 2th violin concerto of Nicolo Paganini. I helped him, because I got 8 people from an amateurorchestra who vote on his cd, so now I hope this Heifetz pupil will come again to Holland to play a Paganini violin concerto with this amateurorchestra. Rudolf Koleman stays ahead in the public price for Janine Jansen who was nominated for her Beethoven/Britten cd. But of course she also won a Edison because she sells better.
Here Rudolf plays the 3th movement of the 2th violin concerto "La Campanella" of Nicolo Paganini in het Kurhaus in The Hague:

Notice how happy everyone looks...
The orchestral violinists are all standing. Is that common there? I've only seen small chamber groups do that, not orchestras accompanying a soloist.
This orchestra is indeed a small chamber orchestra without a conductor, since the last one is gone about 10 years ago. Their name is Amsterdam Sinfonietta http://www.sinfonietta.nl/ Another orchestra on the cd is a normal regional sitting symphony orchestra. Their name is http://www.orkestvanhetoosten.nl/nl/ that means ""the orchestra form the east", but they use their international name " The Netherlands Symphony orchestra".
