Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante for violin and viola, Beethoven’s Triple Concerto for piano, violin and cello, and then Brahms’s Double Concerto for violin and cello would be the most impressive exceptions to that rule. Itzhak Perlman, who has recorded all three of these works, laid down early versions of the Brahms (1979, see volume 22) and the Mozart (DG, 1982), but waited far longer to commit his own interpretation of the Beethoven to disc. The score, which provided aristocratic ensembles in imperial Vienna with a model illustrating the possibilities offered by the piano trio, has often suffered because of its formal ambiguities — is it a triple concerto or a concerto for piano trio with orchestra? This no doubt explains why it has been performed both by established chamber formations (such as the Beaux Arts, Stern–Istomin–Rose and Oistrakh trios), and by ad hoc groupings of individual soloists (for example, Schneiderhan, Anda and Fournier; Szeryng, Arrau and Starker; and even Oistrakh, Richter and Rostropovich). Unlike many of the great violinists of the twentieth century, such as Francescatti, Grumiaux, Kogan, Milstein, Szigeti or Heifetz, who never recorded Beethoven’s Op.56, Perlman decided to make a live recording, in collaboration with two equally illustrious colleagues: Daniel Barenboim and Yo-Yo Ma (who had first recorded the work in 1979 for DG with Anne-Sophie Mutter and Mark Zeltser). The pairing of the Triple Concerto with the same composer’s Choral Fantasy for piano, chorus and orchestra, another long-misunderstood work (one which anticipates the choral finale of the Ninth Symphony), further accentuates the exceptional nature of this album, which features the Berlin Philharmonic, directed from the keyboard by Barenboim. Jean-Michel Molkhou Translation: Susannah Howe 4 Beethoven : triple Concerto et Fantaisie chorale Très courants à l’époque baroque, les concertos mettant en scène plusieurs instruments solistes se sont faits plus rares pendant la période classique puis romantique. Dans le répertoire des cordes, Mozart avec sa Symphonie concertante pour violon et alto, Beethoven avec son Triple Concerto pour piano, violon et violoncelle, puis Brahms avec son Double Concerto pour violon et violoncelle en ont laissé les exemples les plus aboutis. Itzhak Perlman, à qui l’on doit des enregistrements des trois œuvres, a gravé précocement le double de Brahms (1979, volume 22) et la Symphonie concertante de Mozart (DG, 1982), mais ce n’est que beaucoup plus tardivement qu’il se résolut à laisser son témoignage sur l’œuvre de Beethoven. La partition, qui offrait aux formations aristocratiques de la Vienne impériale un modèle illustrant les possibilités du trio avec clavier, a souvent souffert de l’ambiguïté de sa forme, hésitant entre trio avec orchestre et triple concerto. C’est ce qui explique sans doute qu’elle ait été servie soit par des formations de chambre constituées (Beaux Arts Trio, Trio Stern –Istomin –Rose, Trio Oïstrakh), soit par des associations de solistes réunis pour l’occasion (Schneiderhan –Anda –Fournier, Szeryng –Arrau –Starker ou e encore Oïstrakh –Richter –Rostropovich). Contrairement à bon nombre de grands violonistes du XX siècle, tels Francescatti, Grumiaux, Kogan, Milstein, Szigeti ou Heifetz, qui n’enregistrèrent jamais cet Opus 56, Perlman en proposait ici un enregistrement public aux côtés de deux solistes de son rang, Daniel Barenboim et Yo-Yo Ma, ce dernier l’ayant gravé une première fois avec Anne-Sophie Mutter et Mark Zeltser (DG, 1979). Le couplage à la Fantaisie chorale pour piano, chœur et orchestre, autre page de Beethoven longtemps injustement méconnue — qui allait pourtant fournir le noyau final de sa Neuvième Symphonie — ne fait que souligner le caractère exceptionnel de ce volume dirigé par Daniel Barenboim à la tête de l’Orchestre philharmonique de Berlin. Jean-Michel Molkhou 5 Beethoven: tripelkonzert und ChorFantasie Konzerte mit mehreren solistischen Instrumenten waren in der Barockzeit überaus beliebt, wurden jedoch in der Klassik und Romantik immer seltener. Im Streicherrepertoire hinterließen Mozart mit der Sinfonia concertante in Es-Dur für Violine und Viola, Beethoven mit dem Tripelkonzert für Klavier, Violine und Cello und Brahms mit dem Doppelkonzert für Violine und Cello die wohl gelungensten Exemplare. Itzhak Perlman, der Aufnahmen aller drei Werke machte, zeichnete schon in frühen Jahren das Brahms-Doppelkonzert (1979, Album 22) und die Sinfonia concertante von Mozart auf (DG 1982), entschloss sich jedoch erst spät zur Aufnahme des Beethoven-Tripelkonzertes. Dieses Werk, das aristokratischen Ensembles im kaiserlichen Wien ein Modell bot, welches die Möglichkeiten des Klaviertrios illustrierte, hat häufig unter seiner formellen Mehrdeutigkeit gelitten, bewegt es sich doch zwischen Trio mit Orchesterbegleitung und Tripelkonzert. Dies erklärt zweifellos, warum es manchmal von bestehenden Kammermusikensembles (Beaux Arts Trio, Stern/Istomin/Rose-Trio, Oistrach Trio) und manchmal von Solisten, die sich nur für diesen Anlass zusammenschlossen (Schneiderhan/Anda/Fournier, Szeryng/Arrau/Starker oder auch Oistrach/Richter/Rostropowitsch) interpretiert wurde. Im Gegensatz zu einer Vielzahl großer Violinisten des 20. Jahrhunderts wie etwa Francescatti, Grumiaux, Kogan, Milstein, Szigeti oder Heifetz, die das op. 56 niemals aufnahmen, entschied sich Perlman dafür, das Tripelkonzert live im Konzert aufzunehmen, gemeinsam mit zwei ebenbürtigen Solisten: Daniel Barenboim und Yo-Yo Ma — Letzterer hatte bereits zuvor eine Aufnahme des Tripelkonzerts mit Anne-Sophie Mutter und Mark Zeltser gemacht (DG 1979). Die Verbindung dieses Konzertes mit der Fantasie für Klavier, Chor und Orchester, einem weiteren Werk Beethovens, das lange Zeit zu Unrecht wenig Anerkennung genoss — und nichtsdestoweniger die Inspiration für das Finale seiner 9. Sinfonie darstellte — unterstreicht den außergewöhnlichen Charakter dieses Albums, auf dem Daniel Barenboim die Berliner Philharmoniker dirigiert.

Concerto No. 1, written in 1927, is a vivid and witty example of his romantic spirit, exquisite melodies and rich yet transparent orchestration. Concerto No. 2, composed a decade later, is a darker, more dramatic and virtuosic work. The deeply-felt and dreamlike slow movement and passionate finale are tinged with bleak moments of somber agitation, suggestive of unfolding tragic events with the imminent introduction of the Fascist Racial Laws that led Castelnuovo-Tedesco to seek exile in the USA in 1939. The Four Dances from ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’, part of the composer’s recurring fascination for the art of Shakespeare, are atmospheric, richly characterised and hugely enjoyable. This is their first performance and recording.

Department of ZH t/S fC The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date . DE-6 (2788) Abstract Bach's Concerto for Keyboard, Flute, and Violin with Orchestra in A minor, BWV 1044, is a very interesting and unprecedented case of Bach reworking pre-existing keyboard works into three concerto movements. There are several examples of Bach carrying out the reverse process with his keyboard arrangements of Vivaldi, and other composers' concertos, but the reworking of the Prelude and Fugue in A minor, BWV 894, into the outer movements of BWV 1044, and the second movement of the Organ Sonata in F major, BWV 527, into the middle movement, appears to be unique among Bach's compositional activity.

  • And Progress to St Martin's Chamber Music Competition Final
    Competition Final: Tuesday 27 April, 7.30pm Thank you Iceland: Finalists Defy 'Act of God' and progress to St Martin's Chamber Music Competition Final The Piatti String Quartet, Greenwich Trio and Elixir Trio will perform in their bid to become the first ever winners of St Martin's Chamber Music Competition in partnership with Making Music. After making it through the preliminary and semi−final rounds, the three groups will compete for the coveted prize. Piatti String Quartet, stranded in France by the cloud of volcanic ash which wreaked havoc for travellers across Europe last week, drove through the night to a ferry from Dunkirk in order to make their scheduled semi−final last Tuesday 20 April. While those stranded were cursing Iceland's volcanic activity, The Greenwich Trio are newly converted fans of the volcano. As the reserve ensemble for the semi−final of the competition, they were called on Monday 19 April when it became clear that unfortunately, not all semi−finalists would make it back to London to perform, and were offered a place in the semi−final the next day. Their performance of excerpts from Beethoven's Archduke Piano Trio and Ravel Piano Trio in A minor impressed the panel with its vivacity, passion and technical brilliance. Paris based Elixir Trio according to one semi−final panellist, gave the "most extraordinarily moving and engaging" performance of the slow movement from Francaix's Piano Trio to secure their place in Tuesday's final. "We gave them extra points for the violinist's blue hair" joked another panellist, then hastening to add that actually, it was the groups musical performance which saw them succeed.

  • Thomas, Augusta Read Dancing Helix Rituals
    Dancing Helix Rituals (2006) Augusta Read Thomas “Somewhat of a cross between ‘Jazz’ (Monk, Coltrain, Tatum, Miles, etc.) and ‘Classical’ (Bartok, Stravinsky, Varèse, Berio, Boulez, etc.), Dancing Helix Rituals can be heard as a lively dance made up of a series of outGrowths and variations which are orGanic and, at every level, concerned with transformations and connections. Each player serves as a protagonist as well as a fulcrum point on and around which all others’ musical force fields rotate, bloom, and proliferate. There is refined loGic to every nuance which stems from the sound, in context, on its own terms and the form is that of an eiGht-minute crescendo. AlthouGh Dancing Helix Rituals stands fully on its own as art music, it can be performed along with dancers. The early Stravinsky ballets are works I hold in Great reverence, have studied, love, and embrace as models in my inner ear. As a result, I tend to hear and feel all of my music, in particular my orchestral works, as music suitable for dance. As I compose, I sinG, dance, move, and conduct at my draftinG table. The process is visceral. My ears and mind are both analytical as well as intuitive and I ‘feel’ and ‘hear’ every note and rhythm and color clearly. (I hope you can sense that precision.) This is music composed with the whole ear and whole body, not a cerebral, overly analytical exercise in pushinG twelve-tone rows–or spectra–or rearranGed quotes of borrowed ethnic phrases around a computer screen, for instance! The sounds are varied, colorful, crosscut, unexpected, and yet hopefully sound inevitable in the way that a jazz improvisation sounds spontaneous and unpreventable.

  • Joseph Kuipers Is One of the Rare Musical Voices of Today: the Fresh Sincerity of His Playing, Combined with Technical Sovereignty Over the Instrument
    “Joseph Kuipers is one of the rare musical voices of today: the fresh sincerity of his playing, combined with technical sovereignty over the instrument. He draws a dark, singing sound out of his Ceruti Cello, and creates lines that seem to float effortlessly.” Berliner Abend Post American cellist Joseph Kuipers is renowned for his creativity and versatility in his captivating performances on both modern and gut strings. Appearing at festivals and music centers around the globe, he has performed at the Ravinia Music Festival, Aspen Music Festival, Les Festival International du Domaine Forget, Kronberg Academy, Ascoli Piceno Festival, Carl Orff Festival, and the World Cello Congress. Equally at home with modern and baroque performance styles, and often juxtaposing them in concert programs, Joseph has worked extensively with living composers, among them Robert Cogan, Heinz Holliger, Helmut Lachenmann and Arvo Part: and has performed with the Ensemble für Neue Musik Basel, Neue Musik Ensemble Mannheim, Second Instrumental Unit, New York, and the Callithumpian Consort of Boston. Joseph is the Artistic Director of the Fredericksburg Music Festival where world renowned European classical musicians gather in historic Fredericksburg TX for a week of music making. In 2010 Joseph founded the Marinus Project an international collective of chamber musicians dedicated to the tradition of classical music in our time. Marinus is the “Ensemble in Residence” at Washington and Lee University and Eastern University.
