The Bohuslav Martinu Complete Edition III/1/5. Par MARTINU BOHUSLAV. “Incarnation” (1956), Bohuslav Martinu’s fourth piano concerto, follows an atypical two-movement structure. It was composed for Martinu’s friend Rudolf Firkušný, who played from a copy of the autograph until 1970, when the composition was first put into print. The next work, “Concerto in B flat major for Piano and Orchestra”, known under the name “Fantasia Concertante”, was to be Martinu’s very last concert work. The concerto in three movements, composed at the request of Swiss pianist Margrit Weber, is quite different from the previous work in terms of its compositional means. In this case, Martinu strongly influenced the edition of the work. The present volume of the Complete Edition of works by Bohuslav Martinu is based mainly on contemporary copies containing the composer’s own modifications. The edition presents numerous new findings about the genesis of both works./ Recueil / Orchestre

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. The two symphonies reprinted here are superb compositions in their own right and remain two of Dvorak's most popular works. Symphony No. 7 In D Minor is considered by many to be Dvorak's finest achievement in the symphonic form with its strong, concise development, great emotional depths and heroic spirit earning many admirers among critics and public alike. This full score edition has been accurately reproduced from an authoritative German edition./ Répertoire / Orchestre

Par VINE CARL. Carl Vine’s Concerto for Orchestra was premiered to critical acclaim by the West Australian Symphony Orchestra in October 2014. Its composer describes the way the 20-minute work (like his recent Piano Trio The Village) ‘evolves organically through a chain of episodes to create a web of melodies and harmonies that are related but not identical. This network of ideas is tied together by strong lateral bonds but remains fluid and flexible, creating a series of fleeting glimpses – what Prokofiev called visions fugitives – abstract patterns glimpsed in the half-light or imagined behind clouds.’ / Scores / Répertoire / Orchestre

Full Score and parts for Full Orch - 2.2.2.2 Ð 1.2.1.1, Strings, Timpani, Percussion (2 players). Par TROTTA MICHAEL JOHN. A new work for choir, brass quintet, organ, timpani and cymbals. This setting of the Gloria delivers a tapestry of melodic richness and rhythmic energy. A strong sense of architecture guides the listener through the three contrasting movements. Trotta?s work is a rare example of music that is both grounded in tradition and appealing to the modern listener. Exciting and inspiring! / Date parution : 2021-11-30/ Répertoire / Orchestre
