ALLEGRO 5’00 TOTAL TIME: 68’36 7 * Regarding the inclusion of the Allegretto WoO 53 in Sonata no. 5 op.10/1: Konstantin Lifschitz spielt diesen von Beethoven ursprünglich höchstwahrscheinlich hier vorgesehenen Satz in Sonaten-Zyklen immer mit. Er hält ihn für beinahe notwendig und möchte zeigen, wie undefinitiv der Textbestand ist. Konstantin Lifschitz plays this movement, which Beethoven almost certainly intended to be inserted here, in all his sonata cycles. He considers it virtually essential and wishes to demonstrate how indefinitive the received text is. Konstantin Lifschitz complète ce cycle avec l’Allegretto WoO 53, qu’il joue en guise de troisième mouvement dans la Sonate en do mineur op. 10 n° 1 pour laquelle il était très probablement prévu à l’origine – un ajout qu’il considère comme « presque nécessaire », ce qui montre selon lui à quel point les partitions éditées de ces sonates présentent un caractère « non définitif ». 8 CD3 GRANDE SONATE NO.4 IN E FLAT MAJOR, Op. 7 (UM 1796/97) 1 I.

ADAGIO MOLTO SEMPLICE E CANTABILE 21’34 TOTAL TIME: 77’12 17 KONSTANTIN LIFSCHITZ PIANO 18 BEETHOVEN 32 SONATEN VON DANIEL K.L. CHUA Beethovens 32 Klaviersonaten umfassen sein gesamtes schöpferisches Leben als Komponist. Sie bilden Beethovens Entwicklung von seiner frühesten Sonate op. 2 Nr. 1 von 1795 bis zur letzten, 1822 vollendeten Sonate op. 111 ab. Herkömmlicherweise wird Beethovens Leben und Werk in drei Perioden eingeteilt – früh, mittel und spät. Solche Kategorien schließen unvermeidlich so viel aus wie sie erschließen, aber sie können helfen, repräsentative Werke hervorzuheben und, wenn man die neue live-Aufnahme sämtlicher Klaviersonaten von Konstantin Lifschitz hört – im September 2017 in acht Konzerten im großen Konzertsaal der Universität von Hongkong aufgeführt –, einen Bezugsrahmen bereitzustellen. Die Sonaten wurden der Reihe nach vorgetragen, von Nr. 1 bis 32, und nehmen das Publikum so auf eine Reise von jugendlichem Ungestüm zu zeitloser Weisheit mit. Die drei Perioden bieten hierfür eine einfache Orientierungshilfe, die wahrscheinlich überflüssig wird, wenn wir erst einmal mit dem komplexen und oft überraschenden Verlauf dieser Sonaten vertrauter sind. Ohnehin waren sie nie als zusammenhängende Gruppe oder Erzählung gemeint. Auf der ersten Stufe experimentiert Beethoven offensichtlich mit Einfällen, die sowohl technisch frappierend als auch dramatisch draufgängerisch sind, um in Wien ein entschiedenes Zeichen als Komponist zu setzen. Diese Periode war immer noch eine Lehrzeit; oder, mit den Worten des Grafen Waldstein in einem Albumeintrag zur Erinnerung an Beethovens Reise 1792 von Bonn nach Wien, eine Zeit, um „Mozarts Geist aus Haydns Händen zu empfangen“. Obwohl Beethoven bei seinen vereinzelten Kontrapunkt-Lektionen mit Haydn in Wien an dessen Fähigkeiten wenig Gefallen fand, machte er sich doch zwei Aspekte von Haydns Komponieren zueigen, die entscheidend für seinen eigenen Fortschritt waren.

    Béla Szedlák, Kontrabass Samstag, 25.Dezember, 19:30 Abendkonzert Béla Szedlàk wurde in Budapest geboren. Als er mit dreizehn Jahren mit Bassspielen Franz Schubert (1797-1828) begann, erfüllte er eigentlich den Traum seines Vater, der Schreiner war, aber alles da- aus "Deutsche Tänze" D790 für zwei Violinen und Kontrabass ran setzte, dass seine Söhne Musiker wurden. Aus dem „Müssen“ wurde bald ein Ländler, Menuette, Walzer, Ecossaisen „Dürfen“ und später wurde es eine grosse Liebe zu diesem Beruf. Violine: Patricia Kopatchinskaja Die Begegnung mit der damals grössten Kapazität auf dem Gebiet des Kontrabasses – Violine: Daniel Kobyliansky Ludwig Montag, Professor an der Franz Liszt Musikhochschule – gewann eine grosse Kontrabass: Bela Szedlak Bedeutung für die musikalische Entwicklung von Béla Szedlàk. Aus dieser Lehrer-Schüler Beziehung entwickelte sich eine grosse Freundschaft. Sie führ- Franz Schubert (1797-1828) te dazu, dass Ludwig Montag sein weltweit einmaliges Kontrabass-Archiv Béla Szedlàk Sonate Grand Duo D.812 Op.140 in C-Dur für Klavier vierhändig (1824) anvertraute. Allegro moderato Béla Szedlàk lebt seit 1972 in der Schweiz. Er war Mitglied der Camerata Bern, des En- Andante sembles Hesperion XX und ist Mitbegründer des Ensembles I Salonisti ( weltweite Scherzo: Allegro vivace - Trio Konzerttätigkeit, CD-Produktion bei EMI, Decca, Sony). Er ist Mitglied des Berner Sym- Allegro vivace phonieorchesters und Dozent an der Hochschule der Künste in Bern. Die Lehrtätigkeit - Klavier: Konstantin Lifschitz und Ivan Sokolov das Vermitteln von instrumentalem Handwerk und die Begleitung junger Menschen auf Pause dem Weg ihrer künstlerischen Entfaltung – nimmt eine zentrale Rolle in seiner Tätigkeit ein. In diesem Zusammenhang rief er 2001 den Förderverein „pro basso“ ins Leben Boris Yoffe (*1968) 3 Gedichte für Streichquartett Kaspar Zehnder, Flöte Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) Kaspar Zehnder wurde 1970 in Riggisberg/Bern geboren.

    IGOR RAYKHELSON’S PIANO AND CHAMBER MUSIC, VOLUME TWO by Paul Conway Reflecting the spirit of Neo-Romanticism which inhabits his scores, the pianist and composer Igor Raykhelson has stressed the primacy of melody in his music and defined his creative métier as ‘crossover’. He has also expressed the fervent wish that ‘music of the 21st century can be beautiful and can touch hearts and souls’.1 He was born in St Petersburg – then still called Leningrad – on 24 April 1961. At the age of five he started taking music lessons and was enrolled in 1976 at the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatoire in Leningrad, where he studied both classical and jazz piano. He soon formed his own jazz quartet, The Emerging Stars, which toured extensively throughout the former Soviet Union. In 1979 Raykhelson moved to New York and took piano lessons with Alexander Edelman, going on to tour with such celebrated jazz musicians as Eddie Gomez, Joe Lock and Russia’s leading saxophonist, Igor Butman. At the same time, Raykhelson continued studying classical piano, performing chamber music, giving recitals and appearing as an orchestral soloist. In 1998 he met and quickly forged a close professional association with the violist Yuri Bashmet. A turning point in Raykhelson’s career came when he was asked by Bashmet to compose a work that would combine jazz and classical elements. The resulting Jazz Suite for viola, saxophone, piano and orchestra (1998) was extensively performed and widely acclaimed.2 After creating this seminal work, Raykhelson regarded composition as his primary musical pursuit. In April 2003 he made his Carnegie Hall debut with the well-received Adagio for viola and string orchestra (2002) performed by Bashmet and the Moscow Soloists 1 Booklet notes, Toccata Classics tocc 0055.

    IGOR RAYKHELSON: PIANO AND CHAMBER MUSIC, VOLUME ONE by Paul Conway Refecting the spirit of Neo-Romanticism which inhabits his scores, the pianist and composer Igor Raykhelson has emphasised the primacy of melody in his music and defned his creative medium as ‘crossover’. He has also expressed the fervent wish that ‘music of the 21st century can be beautiful and can touch hearts and souls’.1 Raykhelson was born in St Petersburg – then still called Leningrad – on 24 April 1961. At the age of fve he started taking music lessons and in 1976 was enrolled at the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatoire in Leningrad, where he studied both classical and jazz piano. He soon formed his own jazz quartet, Te Emerging Stars, which toured extensively throughout the former Soviet Union. In 1979 Raykhelson moved to New York and took piano lessons with Alexander Edelman, going on to tour with such celebrated jazz musicians as Eddie Gomez, Joe Lock and Russia’s leading saxophonist, Igor Butman. At the same time, Raykhelson continued to study classical piano, performing chamber music, giving recitals and appearing as an orchestral soloist. In 1998 he met and quickly forged a close professional association with the violist Yuri Bashmet. A turning point in Raykhelson’s career came when he was asked by Bashmet to compose a work that would combine jazz and classical elements. Te resulting Jazz Suite for viola, saxophone, piano and orchestra (1998)2 was extensively performed and widely acclaimed. Afer producing this seminal work, Raykhelson regarded composition as his primary musical pursuit. In April 2003 he made his Carnegie Hall debut with the well-received Adagio for viola and string orchestra (2002), performed by Yuri Bashmet and the Moscow Soloists Orchestra.
