Beschreibung:

The Viola is surely not the most assertive instrument among the string family. It reaches neither the extreme height of the violin nor the rumbling depth and the strength of the cello and contrabass. It's role is more integrating than leading or polarizing; and in brilliance, maneuverability and sound projection the violin wins hands down. But if a composer wants to express his or her feelings with maximum intensity and depth, he chooses the viola remarkably often. The loss of a loved one, a repressive political system, persecution and war were more than once the motivation for the composing of music with the viola as the most important voice for expressing the underlying emotions. The dark, somewhat veiled sound of the instrument makes it particularly suited to such a role. On this album, the second of two, we have recorded Mendelssohn, Gal, Shostakovich and Hindemith. Compositions for viola and piano in which oppression, both personal and political, has played, directly or indirectly, an unmistakable role., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Layout: Meeuw, Liner Notes [Translation]: Elizabeth Gaskill, Mastered By: Walter Calbo, Piano, Liner Notes: Marcel Worms, Recorded By, Edited By, Music Director: Jakko Van Der Heijden, Technician [Piano]: Joost van Hartevelt, Viola: Ásdís Valdimarsdóttir, Composed By: Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Composed By: Hans Gal, Composed By: Dmitri Shostakovich, Composed By: Paul Hindemith, Labelcode ZEFI9663.2 (ZEF 9663), Phonographic Copyright (p) Zefir Records, Copyright (c) Zefir Records, Recorded At Zeeuwse Concertzaal, Middelburg
