Tan Dun: Pipa Concerto, etc.

Hayashi:

Viola Concerto “Elegia”

Takemitsu:

Nostalghia, for violin & string orchestra

Takemitsu is of course Japan’s best-known composer. Nostalghia was written in memory of Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky (and featuring Bashmet on violin!), plus three short film scores, Takemitsu’s favourite genre. Finally, a substantial addition to the viola concerto repertoire – Hayashi’s Concerto “Elegia” (1995), a highly approachable and yearning score with hints of Janacek and Bartok as well as a distinctive Japanese flavour.

Yuri Bashmet (violin)

Three Film Scores for String Orchestra: Music of Training and Rest (from José Torres); Funeral Music (from Black Rain); Waltz (from Face of Another)

Tan Dun:

Pipa Concerto

world première recording

Wu Man (pipa)


Directed by Yuri Bashmet

“Tan Dun’s four-movement Pipa Concerto...is, as one might expect, eclectic, vibrant, colourful and immediate; but, as with much of his work, the piece seems more theatrical effect than substance. Wu Man plays the pipa - a Chinese-style lute - beautifully. [In Hayashi's Viola Concerto] Yuri Bashmet gives the viola solo part with his usual powerfully rich tone, and he is equally good on the violin in Takemitsu’s Nostalghia (1988), a meditative tribute to the film director Andrei Tarkovsky. The Moscow Soloists, superb throughout, also give three extracts from Takemitsu’s large canon of film music.” Sunday Times, 25th May 2008 **

Yuri Bashmet (viola) & Mikhail Muntian (piano)

This exciting release marks the first solo recital disc in some years by the world’s most celebrated violist Yuri Bashmet, and features high quality arrangements mostly not recorded before.

Reminiscences is a highly personal disc of Bashmet favourites and encores played over 30 years with his long-time piano partner Mikhail Muntian (who premiered Shostakovich’s Viola Sonata).

Marais’ haunting music for viol suits the viola well and forms the backbone of the recital, just as it did for his Carnegie Hall debut. Bashmet played Benda’s Grave at the Beslan Memorial concert with Gergiev in 2005, and the other beautiful arrangements (some by Bashmet’s teacher, the legendary Vadim Borisovsky) throw a new light on many old favourites.

Bashmet’s collaboration with ONYX has been highly successful - their first two discs of Russian string works (ONYX4007/ONYX4017) gained a Grammy Nomination and Award respectively. Their most recent disc of Tan Dun and Takemitsu featuring Bashmet as violinist, violist and conductor is getting equally great reviews (ONYX4027)
