Mathis Rochat is a Swiss-french violist who is quickly gaining attention as “one of the most upcoming and creative violists of his generation” (concerti). As a soloist, Mathis has appeared with the Geneva Chamber Orchestra, the Camerata Schweiz, the Norddeutsche Philharmonie and the Khirgize State Orchestra.
Praised for “his rich and subtle viola sound ” and “…a marvelous poetic imaginative power” (Bachtrack), he takes the freedom to both uncover forgotten original works and add his personal transcriptions to the viola repertoire.
Applauded by the international press for his recent album releases, L’alto Parnassien and Rachmaninoff Stories, one of which was hailed as the favorite [album] of the month by Klassik Radio, described as “convincingly eloquent, poetic and dramatic.” (MusicWeb international) and “enthralling“ by the BBC Music Magazine.
