Swiss benefactor and conductor who commissioned works from all three composers. Then, a certain instrumental colour with a Central European tinge in Bartók and Veress, but also in Dutilleux, French composer who uses - probably as a form of tribute - one of the most emblematic of Hungarian instruments, the cimbalom.
Three great 20th century classics interpreted by Heinz Holliger, composer, conductor, oboist and pianist ; a friend of Paul Sacher’s, he was also Sándor Veress’ pupil in his composition class in Bern.Hungarian pianist Dénes Várjon - who won the Géza Anda prize in Zurich - plays Veress’ Concerto with finesse and conviction, defending the composer with brio, as he did in his amazing Hommage à Paul Klee for two pianos, with András Schiff and Heinz Holliger for Teldec).
Finally, to complete the trio, one of the best Swiss chamber orchestras of today, the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, whose fundamental repertoire includes the three works presented on this CD. |

Svendsen’s first important work is paired with the very last work by his contemporary Max Bruch, and certainly impressed Svendsen’s contemporaries. He must have shown it to Saint-Saëns when they performed together in the late 1860s, for Saint-Saëns quotes the opening of Svendsen’s slow movement almost note for note in the minuet from the second movement of his first cello concerto! Bruch wrote his Octet in early 1920, just a few months before his death. It was apparently a reworking of a quintet he had written the year before, in which he stipulated that it might be performed by a string orchestra. Bruch substitutes a double bass for the second cello and this adds an extra resonance to the lower strings that somehow enhances the work’s undeniably autumnal quality. |

This is rather an unusual form as few composers are tempted by a violin and piano partnership adjudicated by the orchestra! On listening to this release you can hear how well this partnership works with the exquisite playing of Anje Weithaas and Alexander Lonquich accompanied by the beautifully balanced Camerata Bern. |

The adventure started over ten years ago. With one recording a year, we are now, in 2010, up to the 13th volume of the Basque music collection, begun by Marguerite Dütschler-Huber, founder of Claves Records, and which the new management is very keen to pursue. This last opus is dedicated to the composer Valentín Zubiaurre (1837-1914), whom we shall discover with the Orchestre National Basque and Juan José Ocón through his only symphonic opus - the Symphony in E Major dated 1870 - two opera preludes (he wrote three in total) and a page called “Ecos de Oiz”. As soloist: cellist Roman Jablonski. Zubiaurre started music as a chorister in Bilbao. In 1852 he left for South America where he visited various countries and taught music. He came back to Spain in 1866 and won the Concours National de Musique in 1869 with his opera Don Fernando el Emplazado. Thanks to a grant from the Académie des Beaux Arts he visited France, Italy and Germany in 1873 and became Second Kapellmeister of the Capella Real two years later; he became First Kapellmeister in 1878, all the while developing his teaching activities at the Madrid Conservatory.

Do you know Charles Villiers Stanford? If not, here is a wonderful opportunity to fill this gap: Irish pianist Finghin Collins (author of several Claves albums, among which volumes 1 and 3 of the Schumann collection) and the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra co-sign with the Swiss label a magnificent recording completely dedicated to this …. Irish composer! Son of a protestant lawyer, Stanford went to Queen's College in Cambridge and Trinity College, Dublin, then left for Leipzig to study with Reinecke and Kiel. Most of his life and work were associated with Cambridge, where he was a prominent actor of the University Music Society, and with London's Royal College of Music, where he taught composition right from the opening of the establishment in 1883. He is to be thanked for the first English auditions of numerous Romantic masterpieces - such as Brahms' First Symphony in 1877 - and for highly original symphonic arrangements of Hymns for the Anglican liturgy. Among his own productions, « The Revenge » - a choral ballad written for the Leeds Festival - remained an absolute favourite with British choirs for many years. Featured on Finghin Collins's CD, his 2nd Piano Concerto also dates from the 1910 Leeds Festival, where Sergei Rachmaninov interpreted his 2nd Concerto himself. The work is dedicated to Ukranian pianist Moritz Rosenthal. The Concert Variations upon an English Theme "Down Among the Dead Men", on the other hand, date from 1898 and were written for Leonard Borwick, an English pianist and former pupil of Clara Schumann. |
