“Born
in 1955, Lebanese-French
composer, organist and
improviser Naji Hakim
studied under Jean
Langlais at the Paris
Conservatoire before
succeeding Olivier
Messiaen as organist of
the Saint Trinity Church
in Paris. Considering his
significant musical
training, Langlais'
compositions are created
from a wealth of
knowledge and
understanding, Concerto
for Violin being no
exception. Composed in
2002, Concerto for
Violin, with String
Orchestra or Piano
reduction accompaniment,
is highly modern in
composition. With a
typical performance
lasting about 35 minutes,
the concerto is made up
of three movements. The
solo Violin line
addresses many virtuosic
techniques, including
double and triple stops,
articulation, complex
rhythms, varying bowings
and a huge range of
performance directions,
amongst other aspects.
For all advanced
violinists, seeking
varied, modern
repertoire, Hakim's
Concerto for Violin is an
essential addition to the
repertoire.&rdquo.
