Par BRUCH MAX. Thanks to the premiere performance by Joseph Joachim and to the release of the printed edition in 1868, Max Bruch's Violin Concerto #1 zipped onto the road to success and has never left it since. Yet from the preface of the 'BreitkopfUrtext' edition,one can infer how things looked like behind the dazzling facade. After the world premiere, the composer struggled for the definitive form. He wrote '3, 4 development sections in the finale,' and sought the advice of celebrated virtuosi such as Joseph Joachim and Ferdinand David to revise the solo part. And after all this was done (see above), Bruch suffered under the work's popularity: 'Have I written nothing but this one concerto?' The new Urtext edition is based primarily on the first edition. Next to the main source and the autograph, what is supremely interesting is a solo part with entries by Joachim and Bruch. It confirms how intensively the two men collaborated on honing the final form of the work./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Aside from his popular Violin Concerto no. 1 ?Kol Nidrei? numbers among Max Bruch?s most famous compositions. The melancholy ?Adagio after Hebrew melodies? was written in 1880 for the cellist Robert Hausmann. It treats two old Jewish songs whose extraordinary beauty proved deeply moving to the Protestant Bruch by his own admission. The tenor Cello sound is the ideal medium for the voice of a Jewish cantor and thus to this day ?Kol Nidrei? offers every cellist a wonderful opportunity to make the instrument ?sing?. In this text based on the first edition of 1881 ?Kol Nidrei? appears for the first time in an Urtextedition substantiated by scholarly research for which not just the musical sources but also numerous letters and documents from the Max Bruch Archive were consulted. Christian Poltéra was able to be procured for the markings in the solo part.

La Romance pour alto et orchestre opus 85 de Max Bruch (1838-1920) est une des principales oeuvres de style romantique écrite pour cet instrument. Composée en 1910 elle est créée en 1911 par Willy Hesse, violoniste concertiste proche du compositeur. La romance est toutefois dédiée à Maurice Vieux, figure éminente de la vie musicale parisienne et fondateur de l'école française d'alto. Nous proposons ici une adaptation originale pour piano et contrebasse d'après la partition orchestrale. La partie soliste est spécialement revue et annotée par Daniel Marillier. / Contrebasse Et Piano

Kol Nidrei was originally composed by Max Bruch for Cello and Orchestra. Here Alan Arnold has arranged this piece for Viola and Piano accompaniment. Alan Arnold the upstate New York resident is renowned for his arrangements and compositions solely for Viola dedicating his whole business aptly named Viola World to specialising in works for Viola.

Bruch's Kol Nidrei subtitled Adagio on Hebraic themes for Violincello and Piano is another wonderful display of Bruch's mastery at transforming his 'folk tunes' into art music whilst still retaining their folk elements. Composed in 1881 the work is based on two Jewish themes the first an old Hebrew song of atonement and the second is the middle section of the song O Weep for Those That Wept on Babel's Stream. Two beautiful songs made truly magnificent.
