The peripatetic life and career of the Belgian composer Henry Vieuxtemps anticipated the European concept almost prophetically in the 19th century. The best example is his Elégie of 1848: written in St. Petersburg, it celebrated its greatest triumphs in Paris, was printed in Offenbach am Main, and enthusiastically reviewed in London. Critics were quick to note the expressive contrasts as well as the bravura style of the coda, which was 'elegant and at the same time brilliant?. Following the publication of the Sonata op. 36 (HN 577), the Elégie op. 30 now takes its place among Vieuxtemps' viola works for the first time in an Urtext edition. Tabea Zimmermann was once again entrusted with the bowings- the preface was written by the Vieuxtemps specialist Marie Cornaz. / Alto Et Piano

Avec les opus 116 et 117 de Brahms nous sommes dans les quatre derniers opus pour piano seul composés à Ischl en 1892, de même que pour les opus 118 et 119 en 1893. Brahms a abandonné l'écriture symphonique dont la dernière oeuvre fut le double concerto pour violon et violoncelle et plus tardivement celle qui concerne la musique de chambre.Cherchant une oeuvre inédite pour alto et piano représentative de la fin de la période romantique, mon choix s'est porté sur l'opus 117 #1 car il convenait parfaitement à un arrangement pour piano et alto, la partie mélodique étant de ce registre.A ce propos, n'oublions pas l'admirable oeuvre vocale du compositeur ainsi que les opus symphoniques antérieurs, mais également ceux de musique de chambre et pianistiques où la mélodie est confiée de manière épisodique à une ' voix intermédiaire ' que Brahms affectionnait particulièrement.L'opus 117 #1 est un paysage d'automne en demi-teinte, en clair-obscur cher au Brahms des dernières années dont il cite deux vers en exergue, extraits d'une berceuse écossaise. Dans ses derniers opus pour piano, Brahms retourne complètement à ses origines, avec une inspiration nordique affirmée. Sur la fin de sa vie le compositeur s'abandonne progressivement à un état d'esprit mélancolique qui reflète le sentiment de ses contemporains allemands en cette fin de XIXème siècle.Ce sentiment confus, ce ' Weltschmerz ' traduisant cette ' vague douleur du monde ' incita Brahms à surnommer certaines de ces pièces ' berceuses de ma douleur ' dont l'opus 117 #1 pourrait être un exemple. Ces ultimes opus s'inscrivent dans les quatre grands cycles de rêveries et de méditations pianistiques du célèbre compositeur. / Alto Et Piano

Per Viola E Pianoforte. Par CALLIGARIS SERGIO. Sergio Calligaris was born in Rosario (1941), Argentina. He is one of the last musicians to incarnate the traditional 19th century figure of pianist, teacher and composer, inaugurated at the beginning of the 19th century by Muzio Clementi and carriedon after that by a sequence of famous names that the history of music has handed down to us. As a pianist, he began to give public performances at the age of 13, making his debut in his home town Rosario. Following this success, he embarked upon an extremely busy career as a soloist, giving numerous recitals in Buenos Aires and other citiesin Argentina. He continued to take advanced lessons with eminent exponents of the most prestigious international piano schools. In 1974 he became an Italian citizen and settled in Rome, teaching piano as principal instrument at the S. Pietro a Majella StateConservatory in Naples, the Luisa DAnnunzio Conservatory in Pescara and the Alfredo Casella Conservatory in Aquila. As a composer, he began - at just 9 years of age - to study in the rigorous school of Paul Hindemith, under the guidance of Father Luis Machado, from whom he inherited a love of counterpoint and a strong taste for harmony. He took a diploma incomposition, counterpoint and fugue at the age of 16 at the Amigos del Arte Society in Rosario, going on in 1964 to do an advanced course in 12-tone counterpoint at the Cleveland Institute of Music. The catalogue of his compositions, which has nowreached Op. 55, encompasses a huge range of instrumental/vocal chamber music and symphonic works: a vast and articulated catalogue, in which Sergio Calligaris’s composition expresses its inspiration through the dramatic development of a dialecticalcontrast between the two natures of the composer’s personality - the elegiac and the dithyrambic - which confront and interact with each other giving rise to artistic outcomes of a deeply moving nature. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Date parution : 1905-06-19/ Répertoire / Alto et Piano
