About

After two first recordings released by Zig-Zag Territoires and devoted to Ravel, Mussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov, Emmanuel Krivine and the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra devote this CD to two emblematic works from the end of Bartók’s life: the Violin Concerto No.2, first performed in 1939, and the Concerto for Orchestra, premiered in 1944. These are absolutely major works both in Bartók’s catalogue and from this period in the history of music, and are, moreover, close to the universe of Emmanuel Krivine. For the Violin Concerto, it is Tedi Papavrami who was invited by both the Orchestra and by Zig-Zag Territoires. Let us recall the astonishing recording that Tedi Papavrami recently made of Eugène Ysaÿe’s complete violin sonatas for this label.

September 2015

the recordings are very informative, being closely balanced, spatially vivid and with clearly defined violin desks to the left and right of the rostrum. Tedi Papavrami has a richly yielding tone, an overtly expressive playing style and the ability to dart in and around Emmanuel Krivine's animated accompaniment.

13th August 2015

[The Concerto for Orchestra] was his last completed score but conductor Emmanuel Krivine gives it a youthful glow here, almost a naive sincerity...Papavrami is immensely lyrical in the Second Violin Concerto, a rich mezzo voice above Krivine’s lithe backdrop with the same urgent, blazing virtuosity that made his Ysaÿe sonatas album so exciting last year.
