Description

[Machine Translation] The existence of the virtuoso viola players Primrose and Tartis is probably the reason why so many works for the viola were created in England in the 20th century. Turtis, in particular, loved the sound of the viola, which was a relatively "humble instrument," and deliberately built a larger instrument. He is known for his warm and rich tone. The four works on this album were all composed for Tartis, but the Walton Concerto was too modern for his taste, and Hindemith ended up being the soloist at the premiere. Although the work is certainly modern, the lyricism of the first movement and the third movement with its impressive folk-like melody are very accessible, and Tartis later recognized the true value of the work and added it to his own repertoire. The other three works also make full use of the charm of the viola: Vaughan Williams' "Suite" with its simple atmosphere, Howells' "Elegy" with its mournful beauty, and Bowen's "Concerto" with its long cadenza in the last movement. [Performers] Helen Carus (Viola: 1, 3, 4), Vesa-Matti Leppanen (1st Violin: 2), David Gilling (2nd Violin: 2), Vivjan Jendl (Viola: 2), David Chickering (Cello: 2), New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Mark Taddy ( Conductor )
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

ヴィオラとオーケストラのための英国音楽集 / クラシックオムニバス

20世紀の英国でヴィオラのための作品が数多く生まれたのは、名手プリムローズとターティスの存在に拠るところが大きいだろう。とりわけターティスは、比較的"地味な楽器"であったヴィオラの音色を愛し、わざと大き目の楽器を製作。温かく豊かな音色を奏でたことで知られている。このアルバムに収録されている4つの作品はどれもターティスのために作曲されたが、ウォルトンの協奏曲だけは、モダン過ぎてターティスの好みにあわなかったようで、結局、初演のソリストはヒンデミットが務めた。確かにこの作品は近代的だが、第1楽章での抒情性や、民謡風のメロディが印象的な第3楽章はとても親しみやすく、ターティスも後になって作品の真価を認め、自らのレパートリーに加えたということ。他の3曲もヴィオラの魅力が存分に生かされており、素朴な雰囲気のヴォーン・ウィリアムズの「組曲」、悲痛な美しさに耳を奪われるハウエルズの「エレジー」、終楽章での長大なカデンツァが見事なボーエンの「協奏曲」と、どの曲も聴きどころたっぷり。 [演奏] ヘレン・カルス (ヴィオラ: 1, 3, 4)、ヴェサ=マッティ・レッパネン (第1ヴァイオリン: 2)、デイヴィッド・ギリング (第2ヴァイオリン: 2)、ヴィヴヤン・イェンドル (ヴィオラ: 2)、デイヴィッド・チッケリング (チェロ: 2)、ニュージーランド交響楽団、マーク・タディ (指揮)
