He has also collaborated in chamber projects with Martin Fr?st, Maxim Rysanov, Tabea Zimmermann, Janine Jansen, Clemens Hagen, and with contemporary composers Steve Reich, Kaija Saariaho, Howard Shore and Anders Hillborg. - For his first album for Rubicon, Christian has recorded perhaps the most famous and best loved of all 19th century concertos, Max Bruch's evergreen first Violin Concerto, and paired it with the Wilhelm Stenhammar's warmly romantic Violin Sonata.
