Symphony No.9 - László Lajtha

Pécs Symphony Orchestra conducted by Nicolás Pasquet. I - Vite: 0:00 II - Lento: 9:09 III - Vite: 19:15 Lajtha's Symphony No.9 was composed in 1961. It was premiered in Paris on May 2 of 1963, performed by the French Radio Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Louis Soltesz, achieving immense success. The following year it was premiered in Lajtha's native Hungary, performed by the Budapest Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by János Ferencsik. The first movement begins with an intense and passionate main theme, supported by a dense percussion, turning more resignated. The saxophone presents a melancholic second theme, followed by the oboe and other woodwinds. A folkish solo of the viola appears as a deep lamentation, leading us to a passionate climax on the main theme. A polyphonic crescendo culminates in a passionate declamation of the second theme, which leads us to a firm coda. The second movement opens with an ethereal and contemplative main theme, presented and taken by several woodwind instruments. The flute fully exposes it in all its brilliance, with sudden bitter orchestral tuttis appearing menacingly. Thus the main material is confronted with these dissonant and forceful motives that seem to want to destroy it. The flute recapitulates the theme in a more bleak and desperate tone. Instead of a coda, the music simply dissolves in the silence as the bell chimes resound. The third movement opens with the percussion, followed by the strings in a perpetuum mobile passage. Meanwhile, woodwinds present an archaic theme contraposed to the strings. These materials alternate each other until a passionate chorale emerges from the strings, full of life and energy. The previous materials are integrated in said chorale, taking us to a triumphant final coda. Picture: "Procession (Pilgrims)" (c1930) by the Hungarian painter Vilmos Aba-Novák.
