Szymanowski: Mythes: Music for Violin & Piano

PRODUKTBESCHREIBUNGEN
Lush, impressionistic, exotic, erotically charged even, Karol Szymanowski's music appears as a world in it's own right, a refuge from the harshest aspects of reality, but also a place in which, paradoxically, the dreamer can find the strength and solace needed to cope with the real world and is drawn into an alternative, heightened state of consciousness. Sueye Park and Roland Pöntinen take us on a journey through the Polish composer's works for violin and piano. While the early Violin Sonata in D minor already shows Szymanowski's precocious talent in writing for violin, the Romance in D major and the Nocturne et Tarantelle indicate the emergence of a feverish and exotic atmosphere as well as the musical expression of physical intoxication, a characteristic of the composer's mature works. Mythes (1915) represents Szymanowski at the zenith of his artistry, creating 'a new mode of expression for the violin' and through this an other-worldly musical language. La Berceuse d'Aïtacho Enia concludes this disc in a dreamy yet troubled mood, as if the pains of the real world had ultimately found a way to reach us.
