詹姆士．艾尼斯 中提琴
加德納 指揮 BBC交響樂團
"In this third volume of Edward Gardner’s Walton
series with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, James
Ehnes leaves his violin to tackle the taxing soloist
role in the Viola Concerto.
In a recent Strad interview, Ehnes confesses: ‘This is
a piece I have loved since I was a teenager, so it is
wonderful that the opportunity has come my way to
record it... With Walton’s Viola Concerto, none of
the writing is impossible but a lot of it is close. And
in a way that is exactly where you want it to be: on
the edge of technical limitations. There’s a
tremendous amount of excitement in that.’
This album in surround sound also features two
much later works: the 1957 Partita for Orchestra and
the Sonata for String Orchestra, adapted in 1971
from the String Quartet in A minor of 1945 – 47.
There is a striking contrast between the
uncomfortable modernism of the up-and-coming
young composer’s Viola Concerto and the relaxed
brilliance of the mature Partita. But the Sonata
shows Walton late in his life re-engaging as an
arranger with his earlier manner, and so with the
characteristic vein of restless unease that runs
through most of his output.
