Feldman, Zimmermann, Schoenberg, Xenakis: Phantasy of Spring — Works for Violin and Piano

Um CD ouvido com pouca atenção por este que vos escreve. Mas acho que ele vale pelas obras de Zimmermann e Xenakis, assim como pelo lindo som extraído pela ruiva Carolin Widmann de seu violino. O repertório é raro, coerente e a ECM não costuma perder a viagem.

Aliás, vejo agora que o The Guardian elogiou muito o CD, conforme vocês podem ler a seguir:

Carolin Widmann follows her impressive survey of Schumann’s violin sonatas last year with something completely different and, in its own way, equally outstanding. These four 20th-century works for violin and piano are sharply contrasted from each other, too, and it’s a measure of Widmann’s excellence, and that of the pianist Simon Lepper, that they all ­receive performances of such idiomatic understanding. If Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s early, rather Bartók-like and ­Bartók-lite sonata is the least memorable of the pieces, Widmann presents the best case I’ve heard on disc for the ­communicative power of Schoenberg’s sometimes dry and forbidding Phantasy for violin with piano accompaniment. She makes light of the technical ­challenges of Xenakis’s rebarbative ­Dikthas, while at the other end of the postwar stylistic spectrum she and ­Lepper produce a beautifully voiced performance of Morton Feldman’s Spring of Chosroes. A very fine collection.
