The choice of movements from Stravinsky’s Pulcinella Suite differs between those for violin and cello - Kashkashian has in turn made a slightly different selection compris…

Par BERTAND ELISE. J'ai composé cette Sonate pour violon seul Op.16, entre octobre 2021 et mai 2022, pour trois violonistes que j'admire et qui ont une grande importance pour moi. Le premier mouvement, dédié à Jacques Ghestem, s'inspire d'une sensation de liberté et d'un souffle spontané que j'ai ressentis en jouant Rhapsodie Musings d'Elliott Carter, issu des Four Lauds pour violon seul.

'Orlando? is based on a libretto by Carlo Sigismondo Capeci that derives indirectly from Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem 'Orlando furioso?.This subject was very popular at the time and was frequently set to music, e.g. by Jean-Baptiste Lully, Agostino Steffani and Joseph Haydn.

Par SZALONEK WITOLD. This work reveals the remarkable world of Szalonek?s imagination. Making use of the traditional form of the chaconne, he leaves the soloist ample possibilities for interpretation ? avec fantaisie ? particularly in terms of agogic shifts, and also in the way the narrative is led. In Chaconne-fantaisie, the soloist displays the whole spectrum of the violin?s sonoristic capac_x00…

Par D'ADAMO DANIEL. The starting point for the composition of this piece was the musical observation of sound materials that were both tiny and extremely detailed, expressing a strong musical potential.

Par GAUBERT. Philippe Gaubert (1879-1941) was a distinguished performer on the Flute.

Pour Quatour De Saxophones. Par EOTVOS PETER. I got the idea of writing this piece during a rehearsal with Klaus Michael Grüber I saw in Berlin. Three actors were rehearsing a scene of Kleist. At the end, Grüber said: ‘… now once again in a different way.’ The text was identical but the interpretation was completely different and had almost nothing in common with the previous version. My piece is …
