Polnischer Impressionismus
Die junge russische Geigerin Alina Ibragimova und ihr Partner am Klavier, Cédric Tieberghien, präsentieren auf der vorliegenden Einspielung sämtliche Werke für Violine und Klavier des polnischen Impressionisten Karol Szymanowski (1882–1937). Der Zyklus Mythen, 3 Poème op. 30 ist sein wohl wichtigstes Werk für diese Gattung: Hier entwickelte Szymanowski eine experimentelle musikalische Sprache, die einerseits virtuos den Rahmen des Dur-Moll-Systems sprengt, andererseits vielfältig neue Klangfarben beider Instrumente zeigt. In Nocturnes und Tarantella op. 28 kann Alina Ibragimova ihre virtuosen Fähigkeiten äußerst wirkungsvoll unter Beweis stellen.

Product-Information:

This disc contains some of Szymanowski’s most overtly sensual and vividly gestural music; his lush, exotic textures intensified and crystallized in miniature.

From the early Violin Sonata in D minor onwards, evidence of the composer’s unusual brilliance in writing for solo violin is paramount. The Romance in D major Op 23 (1910), first performed in Warsaw in April 1913, already reveals a considerable advance towards the exotic, strangely inward exaltation of mature works. In the extraordinary Mythes (1915) Szymanowski reaches the zenith of his artistry, creating ‘a new mode of expression for the violin’ and through this an intoxicating, other-wordly musical language.

This recording features the wonderful young violinist Alina Ibragimova, who appears on her third Hyperion disc. Her growing catalogue is receiving the highest critical acclaim. Accompanying her is an equally youthful yet highly distinguished performer, the French pianist Cédric Tiberghien.

Rezensionen

'This is a performance that shows Ibragimova's art at her remarkable best; at one moment poised, the next playing with abandon, she is one of the most expressive violinists around' (BBC Music Magazine)

'The early violin sonata is especially fine, as are the little-known Paganini caprices' (The Evening Standard)

'Ibragimova and Tiberghien produce beautifully characterised accounts, whether in the veiled contours of the Nocturne and the explosion of rhythmic energy that follows it in the Tarantella, or in the refined exoticism of Mythes, with its strange mixture of classical evocation and sensuous indulgence' (The Guardian)

The beautiful 24- year-old Russian violinist Alina Ibragimova teams with French pianist Cedric Tiberghien to prove that Szymanowski's violin music is the most impressive of his chamber music, especially the Scriabinesque Violin Sonata in D-minor Op. 9. An exceptional disc' (Buffalo News, USA)
