Music reviews of Corigliano: The Red Violin Caprices / Thomson: Three Portraits; Five Ladies; Eight Portraits
Music Review: Sensational
Rating: 5 Stars
Philippe Quint is one of the great finds of the Naxos label. I have his previous recordings of Schuman and Rorem's violin concertos and Bernstein's Serenade, all of which are superb. This CD is my first experience of Quint as a recitalist, and it was even better than I expected. The CD contains John Corigliano's endorsement of Quint's playing of the Red Violin Caprices, and I can't agree more. One would love to hear Quint tackle the Paganini Caprices, but there already is a fine recording of these on Naxos by Ilya Kaler. The Corigliano Sonata is a wonderful, early work, inhabiting much the same sonic world as the composer's Piano Concerto. I listened to it twice in one evening, so vivid was the playing of both Quint and Wolfram. The Virgil Thomson pieces are very conversational in their bearing. Here, Quint plays with intimacy and delicacy, whether partnered sparely by Wolfram or as a solo in the delightful Eight Portraits. This is an essential disc of American music for violin.
Description of Corigliano: The Red Violin Caprices / Thomson: Three Portraits; Five Ladies; Eight Portraits
John Corigliano has revisited his score for the 1997 film The Red Violin several times. In The Red Violin Caprices, content is allied to a technique making strenuous demands on the performer. The pensive Theme is identical in substance to that heard in the earlier Chaconne (Naxos 8.559306), and its five variations range in style from the Paganinian virtuosity of the first, to the restrained `folk' tinge of the third. Corigliano's Violin Sonata is among his earliest acknowledged works, its final Allegro enhanced by some scintillating instrumental interplay. Coming from a very different musical background, and representing a very different musical aesthetic, Virgil Thomson's music displays a skilful assimilation of Gallic clarity and an American-derived nostalgia, with hymn tunes and traditional songs often being evident.Classical CDs
