Edward Elgar waited a long time to struggle free of the reputation of being a ‘provincial’ musician. And even though by the time he completed his violin concerto in 1910 he had a significant body of major works to his credit, and an international reputation, he never felt comfortable with all the fame. A more stark contrast with William Walton would be hard to imagine. Walton was one of the ‘in crowd’ of 1920s London. He lived with the Sitwell's, and mixed freely in their circles. He was also an enfant terrible of the musical scene. His Façade made him notorious (it can be considered an English Pierrot Lunnaire), and Balshazzar’s Feast and his 1st Symphony earned him early international fame. Both composer’s violin concertos are major works in the violin repertoire, and the Elgar ranks alongside the violin concertos of Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky. The Walton is a more lyrical and less charged work than the 1st Symphony or Belshazzar. It was commissioned by Joseph Heifetz and premiered in 1939. Elgar’s concerto is highly personal, and passionate. The remarkable and vast finale, running to more than 18 minutes, contains a heart-stopping cadenza, where all movement is suspended as if the composer is looking back sadly at memories and people who are no more. The late Richard Hickox was one of the greatest interpreters of British music Salvatore Accardo is one of the great violinists of our time. Born in 1941 he made his debut at the age of 14, playing Paganini’s Caprices. He has performed with the world’s great orchestras and conductors, and has recorded the complete works for violin and orchestra of Max Bruch and all 6 concertos by Paganini. “...orchestral playing that shows real affection for the Romantic Elgar, and the Mediterranean warmth of the Walton.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2010 ** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
