About this product

From the very beginning fantasies on the famous operas of the nineteenth century belonged to the on-the-road staples of traveling virtuosos. Volker Reinhold knows his way around this genre like no other musician. After his of Pablo de Sarasate's complete fantasies and paraphrases on two Super Audio albums, the highly sought-after Schwerin concertmaster now again broadens our horizons with his piano partner Ralph Zedler and presents virtuoso opera arrangements spanning 150 years discoveries are guaranteed! La traviata of course is a must on every program. Antonio Bazzini transformed Verdi's famous opera into an intimate character portrait of Violetta and in the process far transcended the virtuosic sequencing of popular hits- the otherwise inevitable InchBrindisiInch is not at all to be found. It is thus not surprising that both Mendelssohn and Schumann were captivated by the artistic depth of this Italian star violinist, who later became a professor of composition and whose students almost predictably included the budding opera stars Mascagni and Puccini. Two contributions were penned by Henri Vieuxtemps. His fantasy on Bellini's Norma is to be played in it's entirety on the violin's lowest string. Reinhold and Zedler conclude their entertaining tour through one and a half centuries with two works that may not be so well known but for this precise reason arouse all the most interest. Frantisek Ondricek looks eastward with his arrangement of Glinka's A Life for the Tsar, and Igor Frolov, who was once David Oistrach's assistant, supplies the dazzling conclusion with Gershwin's Porgy and Bess and it's jazzy touches, of course including InchSummertime.Inch

Various Artists - Variations    - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

For her fifth on BIS Clare Hammond has constructed an adventurous programme of twentieth and twenty-first-century variations for piano. From the imposing Chaconne by Sofia Gubaidulina, to the tender grief of Paul Hindemith's variations or Aaron Copland's bold and uncompromising proclamation, the disc presents a fresh perspective on the genre. Hammond opens with Karol Szymanowski's Variations on a Polish Theme from 1904, a virtuosic and intensely Romantic outpouring that contrasts strikingly with the wit and irreverence of Helmut Lachenmann's set on a theme by Schubert. The most recent works in the programme are Harrison Birtwistle's mercurial elegy and it's polar opposite I Still Play, a lyrical waltz composed in 2017 by John Adams. Described as 'a star interpreter of contemporary music' (The Observer), Clare Hammond has developed a reputation for imaginative concert programming. As she herself admits in her liner notes, variation form may on the surface appear to be both limiting and limited, but the works she presents here transcend the form in myriad creative, and at times daring, ways.
