.. Divertimento/ String Quintet In G / Candida Thompson

Description:

BartÃ³kâ??s Divertimento for string orchestra is an exceptionally original work and it has been on our â??bucket listâ?? to record for quite a long time, but choosing the moment when something is â??in oneâ??s bloodâ??, so to speak, is not an easy decision because every time we have rehearsed and performed it we have discovered new things â?? it is such a mellifluously rich work! With pieces like this it is never the same journey twice. I am extremely happy we have finally put it onto a CD. Brahmsâ??s opus 111 is a string quintet hugely loved by us all. It is not often performed by a full string orchestra and is already overpowering in its original quintet form. I fell in love with this music many years ago and spent two weeks deciphering every corner of it in a masterclass with Isaac Stern. It is a very ambitious piece to record with a large group of string players - all the intricacies of the solo voices have to be found and polished, but in my view it lends itself to becoming â?? dare I say it â?? a â??symphony for stringsâ?? when one approaches it with so many more players. Some of the textures seem even more glorious. However, I leave it to you â??the listenerâ?? to decide for yourself! - .. DIVERTIMENTO/STRING QUINTET IN G / CANDIDA THOMPSON

Brahms and Bartók are among Candida Thompson's favorite composers. They were both known for their love of folk music, and often used it as a source of creative inspiration. For this program, Amsterdam Sinfonietta have once again paired a work written for string orchestra with an arrangement of a work composed for chamber ensemble. Bartók's Divertimento for String Orchestra is an exceptionally original work. Brahms's String Quintet No.2 is not often performed by a full string orchestra. In this guise, it's rich textures seem even more glorious.
