Florian Kitt

With Rita Medjimorec

‘Cello Duo

 

Austrian ‘cellist Florian Kitt is one of the best exponents of the contemporary ‘cello repertoire. Following his debut at the Konzerthaus, Vienna in 1964 he has appeared as soloist with many leading orchestras and conductors, given cello recitals and made numerous recordings. In addition to his extensive repertoire of established Classical and Romantic works, his performances of more recent works have always gained high praise - György Ligeti's ‘Cello Concerto at the Royal Festival Hall in London with the Philharmonia Orchestra under Diego Masson bringing particular acclaim by press and the public as did performances of two concertos by Nigel Osborne, both dedicated to Florian Kitt, which were successfully performed all over the world.

 

Rita Medjimorec graduated from the Hochschule Mozarteum in Salzburg, receiving the highest distinctions for both her teaching and soloist diplomas. From 1973-1990 Rita led a course for specially talented children at the Musikhochschule in Graz, where she also taught piano accompaniment. She now holds the post of accompanist for the University for Music in Vienna.
