About this product
Frank Peter Zimmermann, one of today's most highly regarded violinists, takes our breath away with this recording together with the Bamberger Symphoniker and their chief conductor Jakub Hruša - one of the leading Martinu conductors of today. They start off by exploring the lyrical side of Bohuslav Martinu, offered in the Second Violin Concerto (1943), to dive into the neo-classical idiom championed by Stravinsky that informs the composer's Violin Concerto No. 1. Béla Bartók's Sonata for Solo Violin closes the album. Composed in 1944, only a year before Bartók's death, it is a deeply personal statement which fuses the overall layout of Bach's solo violin sonatas with Hungarian folk tradition with results that are as fascinating to the listener as they are challenging to the performer.

This wonderful album plays like the mystical soundtrack to some unmade neo psychadelic fantasy film. Unique arrangments, often led by virtuoso accordian and backed by a group of very skilled musicians on an exciting array of instruments. Percussive, and swirling, the songs seem to grow like the roots of a tree. Highly recommended for those who like their music theatrical, innovative, and amazing!1. Our Time2. Animal3.

Following up on his recordings of the Concerto for Violin, Piano and Orchestra by Bohuslav Martinu, internationally acclaimed violinist Thomas Albertus Irnberger presents both Violin Concertos of the Czech composer, who so often has to give room to the greater popularity of his compatriots Smetana, Dvorak and Janacek. Martinu's Violin Concerto No. 1 H 226 was written in 1931, during his almost 20 years lasting residence in Paris, France. In 1941, Martinu emigrated via Lissabon to the United States because of his detestation of fascism and war and the fear of political persecution, where he soon (1943) composed his Violin Concerto No. 2 H 293. Irnberger receives top-class accompaniment from the Janacek Philharmonic Ostrava, which, under the direction of Heiko Mathias Förster, knows how to translate the Czech gesture of these works into a melodious manner.
