Baiba Skride- Violin Concertos (CD)
It would be harder to find a more different approach to the template of the traditional three-movement concerto than that found in the piece by the Swiss composer Frank Martin. In it's atmospheric density it recalls Martin's setting of Shakespeare's the Tempest. Baiba Skride finds the right tone not only for the veiled sonorities of this piece but also for the tremendous sense of brightness that overwhelms the writing towards the end.
Tracklist:
- Violin Concerto In D Major: I. Toccata
- Violin Concerto In D Major: II. Aria I
- Violin Concerto In D Major: III. Aria II
- Violin Concerto In D Major: IV. Capriccio
- Pacific 231
- Rugby
- Violin Concerto: I. Allegro Tranquillo
- Violin Concerto: II. Andante Molto Moderato
