Duo Zappa / Mainolfi - Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959): Cello Sonata No. 2, H. 286

Bohuslav Martinu (1890-1959) Cello Sonata No. 2, H. 286 I. Allegro 00:00 II. Largo 07:02 III. Allegro commodo 13:53 Duo Zappa / Mainofli Mattia Zappa, Cello Massimiliano Mainolfi, Piano Bohuslav Martinu(1890-1959) was undeniably attracted by the cello. Although the composer played the violin in his youth (with great talent; as mentioned by concert programmes and critics of his native town Policka and surroundings); he wrote many wonderful and instructive pieces for the cello; four with orchestra; and three excellent sonatas. All of them are extremely popular throughout the world. « AN ULTIMATE RAY OF SUNSHINE EMANATING FROM A BETTER WORLD » The First sonata for cello and piano H. 277 is probably the most dramatic of Martinu's chamber music works. It was completed in 1939; shortly after the famous Double concerto for two string orchestras; piano and timpani; illustrating Martinu's reaction to the Munich convention. The political situation was getting worse and worse; and the context in which the sonata was created; on 19th May 1940 in Paris; was even more sombre. The composer was deeply involved in politics at the time and could no longer stay in France; but had to flee from German troops who would undoubtedly have made him prisoner. The first performance of the sonata was given by two great artists and close friends of Martinu: Pierre Fournier; to whom it was dedicated; and Rudolf Firkušný; a compatriot; who endeavoured to make Martinu's works known in America. Martinurecalls the circumstances of this singular concert: "the effect produced by the sonata was most impressive; no doubt due to its dramatic content and the general atmosphere caused by the war. It felt like an ultimate salute; an ultimate ray of sunshine emanating from a better world (that was the opinion of the public; not mine). For a few minutes; we all felt the extent to which music could make our lives richer; and we could thus forget the present." http://www.claves.ch Chamber category: http://www.claves.ch/categories/chamber Album N°: CD 50-2803 EAN: - UPC: - _________________ Award(s): Supersonic - Pizzicato.lu (http://www.claves.ch/awards/pizzicato...) 4 Diapasons (http://www.claves.ch/awards/4-diapason) Empfohlen von Klassik.com (http://www.claves.ch/awards/empfohlen...) _________________ Find more: http://www.claves.ch/categories/chamb...
