2-CD Set-Performed by Anna Reider violin Accompaniment: Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra Conductor: Nayden Todorov The great composer/virtuoso Henryk Wieniawski wrote this concerto in 1853 at the age of 18. But it reflects an astounding musical maturity. In particular this concerto features a grand theatrical air with plenty of pathos and poetry and magnificent multiple-stopping for the solo instrument. This was a common part of the repertoire until his own second concerto supplanted it. Conventional only in its form it is extremely innovative in its musical and technical materials with a beautiful and heroic main theme. The second movement a short Larghetto is a simple yetexquisite musical prayer demanding exquisite musical tone. The Rondo movement is an energetic movement filled with extremely useful exercises in wrist movement and the martelé stroke. All in all a majestic example of the Romantic concerto and a very valuable learning tool for the advancing player. Here finally in a brand new digital recording is this Romantic-era treasure for your own discovery. Includes an authoritative newly engraved music score printed on high-quality ivory paper; a digital stereo compact disc featuring a complete performance of the concerto with flute

The Enchanted Forest. Par HENZE HANS WERNER. This music is taken from the second act of my early opera King Stag. In the original, the aria - here rescored for the orchestra alone - is sung by the protagonist (tenor) who yearns to return to the woods, to nature, to the origins of his animal existence. The rondo is set in a very fast dance tempo (a Tarantella?) and is in three parts: the first one is cheerful and comic, the second one lyrical, almost romantically so, whereas the third one is impetuous and dramatic. The music of both pieces has been considerably rewritten and altered, in harmonic, melodic and rhythmic aspects. - Hans Werner Henze/ Répertoire / Orchestre
