Description:

On the present disc, Frank Peter Zimmermann, one of todayâ??s most highly regarded violinists, performs works by two Central European composers that also exemplify various currents in classical music during the period 1920-1950. Although it only received its first performance in 1973, Bohuslav MartinuÌ?â??s Violin Concerto No. 1 had been composed 40 years earlier in the neo-classical idiom championed by Stravinsky. In contrast, the composerâ??s Second Violin Concerto (1943) is written in a more lyrical vein, partly to suit the playing style of Mischa Elman, the violinist who commissioned it. In both works Zimmermann is partnered by Bamberger Symphoniker under the orchestraâ??s chief conductor Jakub HruÌ?Å¡a, one of the leading MartinuÌ?conductors of today. The disc closes with a central work in the twentieth- century literature for solo violin, BÃ©la BartÃ³kâ??s Sonata for Solo Violin. Composed in 1944, only a year before BartÃ³kâ??s death, it is a deeply personal statement which fuses the overall layout of Bachâ??s solo violin sonatas with Hungarian folk tradition with results that are as fascinating to the listener as they are challenging to the performer. - BAMBERGER SYMPHONIKER/JAKUB HRUSA

Frank Peter Zimmermann, one of today's most highly regarded violinists, takes our breath away with this recording together with the Bamberger Symphoniker and their chief conductor Jakub Hrusa - one of the leading Martinu conductors of today. They start off by exploring the lyrical side of Bohuslav Martinu, offered in the Second Violin Concerto (1943), to dive into the neo-classical idiom championed by Stravinsky that informs the composer's Violin Concerto No. 1. Béla Bartók's Sonata for Solo Violin closes the album. Composed in 1944, only a year before Bartók's death, it is a deeply personal statement which fuses the overall layout of Bach's solo violin sonatas with Hungarian folk tradition with results that are as fascinating to the listener as they are challenging to the performer.
