Par GERSHWIN GEORGE. Jascha Heifetz (1901-1987) and George Gershwin (1898-1937), two of the best known figures in American music, were good friends and often played together. Heifetz had urged Gershwin to write a violin concerto for him, but unfortunately Gershwin died before the project got off the ground. These transcriptions by Heifetz are the next best thing. The five excerpts from Porgy and Bess?« and the Three Preludes are well known and Heifetz often played them as encores, but the substantial concert excerpt from An American in ParisTM has never been published before and may not have been performed by Heifetz in public at all. The infectious rhythms and gorgeous tunes of thisAmerican classic are brilliantly served by Heifetz as transcriber, and the Porgy excerpts (which include 'Bess, You Is My Woman Now,' 'Summertime' and 'My Man's Gone Now') sizzle with virtuoso pizzazz in these wonderful arrangements. This edition is a must-have for lovers of the violin and the music of Gershwin! / Date parution : 2022-11-04/ Recueil / Violon et Piano

Fünf Ausgewählte Lieder. Par MAHLER GUSTAV. Mahler for violin and piano? Why not! The violin is probably the instrument most akin to the human voice and Mahler was a prolific song writer. Georgian violinist, Lisa Batiashvili, has chosen five songs, in arrangements by Ronald Kornfeil, to enhance her own and others’ concert repertoire. She offers a selection from “Aus der Jugendzeit”, “Fahrenden Gesellen” and “Des Knaben Wunderhorn”, including the gorgeous “Urlicht”. The full-throated piano accompaniments of these originally orchestral songs will not only do the songs justice but also remind us of their use in Mahler’s symphonies where, of course, the solo violin often featured. With no huge technical demands, these arrangements can be tackled even by intermediate players and will offer students a rewarding exercise in powerful yet lyrical playing./ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

16 Wonderful Songs From Classic To Rock. Par GARRETT DAVID. Sa manière d'allier le classique à la pop et au rock a rendu David Garrett célèbre dans le monde entier. Pour la première fois, il donne sa version personnelle écrite de succès planétaires. Il en résulte un volume inspirant mais aussi exigeant pour violon et piano. Parmi les 16 transcriptions, on compte aussi bien des chef-d'oeuvres classiques de Beethoven et Paganini que des chansons pop et rock de Justin Timberlake, Metallica ou Led Zeppelin. Grâce à sa collaboration avec Franck van der Heijden et John Haywood, David a pu créer une partie de piano qui retranscrit l'essence d'un arrangement pour orchestre./ Recueil / Violon et Piano
