Journey through a Century / Sueye Park
ï»żShortlisted for the Gramophone Awards!
Exploring the repertoire for solo violin, the young Korean violinist Sueye Park has chosen works spanning exactly 100 hundred years â from Max Regerâs Prelude and Fugue from 1909 to Pendereckiâs Capriccio, composed in 2008. Framing the 20th century, the program starts as a relay race of famous violinist-composers; Reger dedicating his piece to Kreisler, who dedicated his Recitativo and Scherzo-Caprice to YsaĂże, who wrote his Sonata No. 6 for the Spanish virtuoso Manuel Quiroga. In this series of names, that of Richard Strauss may come as a surprise, but his little-known Daphne-EtĂŒde from 1945 is also dedicated to a violinist â his young grandson. The journey now turns eastwards with two solo sonatas, by Prokofiev and Weinberg, that were both composed in Moscow, albeit 20 years apart. These are followed by Isang Yunâs âRoyal Themeâ. The Korean-born composer uses the theme from Bachâs Musical Offering, but takes it on âa walk through the Asian traditionâ in the course of seven variations. In A Paganini, Alfred Schnittke revisits another colleague from the past â and one closely associated with the violin. Finally bringing us into the 21st century is Penderecki, whose early training as a violinist stood him in good stead when he composed his virtuosic Capriccio.
