The two concertos contained in this volume represent two different stylistic periods within Martinu's work. TheConcerto da Camera(1941) is the last of his works inspired by the Baroque concerto grosso. TheRhapsody-Concerto, composed eleven years later (1952), was the first work of his so-calledfantasia period, marked by a more open sense of form and an expansion of tonality. The edition of theConcerto da Camerashows, for the first time, the extent of Martinu's modifications to the work since its composition and publication, particularly to the solo violin part. The edition of theRhapsody-Concertotakes into account previously unknown contemporary performance materials which have recently been discovered.

This volume of the Bohuslav Martinu Complete Edition (BMCE) is based on a wealth of text and music sources, in particular autographs and contemporary copies that were recognized by the composer and early performers of the works, as well as some first editions produced under the supervision of Martinu.

Das Concerto da camera will weder eine barockisierende noch avantgardistische Musik fur die Blockflote sein - sondern ein instrumentgerechtes, abwechslungsreiches, temperamentvolles Stuck. Der Solopart (im Wechsel von Alt- und Piccolo-Flote) ist virtuos und ausdrucksstark zugleich angelegt, unter Berucksichtigung der in den letzten Jahren fur die Blockflote speziell entwickelten Techniken (uberblasene Akkorde, Flackergerausche, Fingervibrato etc.). Die relativ umfangreiche Orchesterbesetzung (funf Holz-, vier Blechblaser, Harfe, Schlagwerk, Streicher) soll farbige Kontraste schaffen und verschiedene Strukturen verdeutlichen. Im ersten Satz, einem knappen ,,Preludio bringt das Solo-Instrument verfremdete Zitate aus dem langsamen Satz eines Telemann-Konzertes (a-moll) uber Klangflachen von Streichern und Blasern. Zweiter Satz: Ein mehrteiliges, rhapsodisches Allegro, bei dem der Part der Blockflote von Repetitionsfiguren bestimmt wird. Das Orchester setzt mosaikahnliche kurze dodekaphonische und serielle Klanggruppen und -blocke dagegen. Im ruhigeren Zwischenteil korrespondiert die Solostimme mit dichtem polyphon gefuhrten Streicherensemble. Der langsame Satz , Mittelpunkt des ganzen Konzerts, entwickelt sich als weit ausgesponnene Fantasie und kristallisiert sich um die einzelnen Zeilen der alten Liedweise ,,Innsbruck, ich muss dich lassen - ,,auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit. Ein rhythmisch eigenwilliges zwolftoniges Bass-Ostinato beherrscht das Finale, greift allmahlich in steter Steigerung auf alle Stimmen uber und ubertont schliesslich den Solopart. Nach kurzer Klimax kehrt das Thema nach und nach in die Bassregister zuruck, wahrend das Solo-Instrument mit virtuosen Spielfiguren dominiert. Eine Fanfare und eine im Unisono aus der Hohe herabschiessende Figur leiten diesen letzten Satz ein, erscheinen in der Mitte und am Ende, ehe eine humorvolle Stretta das Werk beschliesst. Das ,,Concerto da camera ist an kein festes Kompositionsprinzip gebunden; es konfrontiert den relativ zarten Klang der Blockflote mit den verschiedenen lautstarkeren Orchestergruppen und zeigt in diesem Spannungsfeld die Moglichkeiten und Grenzen des Soloinstruments auf.

Conce rto da Camera II is a work for six instruments which may be further grouped into three separate entities - clarinet, string quartet, piano. In this combination, chosen by the work's commissioning organizations (the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center in conjunction with Mount Holyoke College), lies the work's first challenge. While pairings of any two of these three sound types abound in the concert literature, the three together form a far less common soundscape. The main difficulty appears in the necessity to reconcile the potential of both the clarinet and the piano of acting in a soloistic capacity when pitted against the string quartet. Indeed, the three movements of the Concerto deal with this problem in various ways, with the balance of power between the six instruments' potential for unity and contrast, solo and ensemble playing, continually shifting and changing.   Yet another, more delicate, balance of power is at play here, namely, the relationship between the external, foreground level of the piece and a subtler background level. What, at first, appear like small, gentle melodic strands, mere echoes or residues of the main events, gradually assume an inner life of their own. Never actually taking over yet always there, a salient, if quiet, factor within the work's compositional fabric and evolving organism.   Though each movement includes numerous tempo fluctuations, the overall thrust of the work clearly suggests a fast-slow-fast framework, with the last movement being a loosely structured, occasionally tempestuous Rondo.

Comp osing for the recorder can be intimidating for those with limited or no experience playing the instrument. John Turner's new book is the ideal primer, taking the would be recorder composer on a journey through the history of recorder composition, and onwards to explore player techniques and the musicality offered by this versatile instrument. Each section is extensively referenced to exisiting compositions, providing a fantastic platform for further research by the reader.

About the Author:

JOHN TURNER is one of the leading recorder players of today. Born in Stockport, he was Senior Scholar in Law at Fitzwilliam College Cambridge before pursuing a legal career, acting for many distinguished musicians and musical organisations alongside his many musical activities. These included numerous appearances and recordings with David Munrow's Early Music Consort of London, the Academy of Ancient Music, the English Chamber Orchestra, the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and the English Baroque Soloists. He now devotes his time to playing, writing, reviewing, publishing, composing and generally energising.

He has played as recorder soloist with the Halle Orchestra, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, the Manchester Camerata, the English Baroque Soloists, the English Chamber Orchestra, and many other leading orchestras and ensembles. Concertos and works with orchestra have been written for him by Gordon Crosse, Anthony Gilbert, Peter Hope, Kenneth Leighton, Elis Pehkonen, Alan Bullard, John Casken, and many other distinguished composers. His recordings include no less than five sets of the Brandenburg Concertos, as well as the F Major version of Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 with Menuhin and George Malcolm, but lately he has madenumerous acclaimed recordings of the recorder’s contemporary concerto and chamber music repertoire, including several concerto discs, all of which have received critical acclaim. In all, he has given the first performances of over 600 works for the recorder, with works by many non-British composers, including Leonard Bernstein, Ned Rorem, Peter Sculthorpe, Douglas Lilburn and Petr Eben.

Many of the works he has premiered have now entered the instrument’s standard repertoire, and these and his own recorder compositions are regularly set for festivals and examinations. He edits series of recorder publications for both Forsyths and Peacock Press, and founded the periodical Manchester Sounds, in response to the perceived threat to music libraries in Great Britain. In addition he was responsible for the rediscovery of several works for his instrument, including the Rawsthorne Recorder Suite, Antony Hopkins' Pastiche Suite, Herbert Murrill’s Sarabande, the Handel F Major Trio Sonata and John Parry's Nightingale Rondo (the only substantial known British nineteenth century work for a fipple flute). He was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Northern College of Music in 2002 for his services to British music, and is a Visiting Distinguished Scholar of Manchester University.
