Castelnuovo-Tedesco - Tianwa Yang, SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden Und Freiburg, Pieter-Jelle De Boer - Violin Concerto No. 2 'The Prophets' / Concerto Italiano album flac

Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco considered the 1924 Concerto Italiano to be his first truly symphonic venture. This tuneful, fresh and transparently scored concerto here receives its world première recording. It was admired by the great violinist Jascha Heifetz, for whom the composer wrote his Concerto No. 2 'I Profeti' (The Prophets), an impassioned work 'of biblical character and inspiration' with an almost cinematic sweep

Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco considered the 1924 Concerto Italiano to be his first truly symphonic venture. 2 'I Profeti' (The Prophets), an impassioned work 'of biblical character and inspiration' with an almost cinematic sweep. Tianwa Yang plays with unflagging gusto and, in music that can turn kitschy, taste. Now is usually the time we get to say something condescending, like "She's no Heifetz, or Perlman," but the truth is that she doesn't suffer at all from the comparison. She's an excellent artist, one whose musicality and passion speak for themselves, and she can hold her own against anyone.

Castelnuovo-Tedesco termed the Concerto Italiano "almost Vivaldian," largely on the strength of the crystalline middle movement; the first movement is a big piece of Romantic heroics. Yang offers some real depth in the slow-movement melody and in the episodic structure of the Violin Concerto No. 2, programmatically depicting Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Elijah.

Tianwa Yang - violin SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden Pieter-Jelle de Boer - conductor. The Violin Concerto No. 2 ("The Prophets") by Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco is rarely played, and the Concerto Italiano of 1924 here receives its world premiere on recordings. Chinese violinist Tianwa Yang makes a good case that both should be heard more often.
