The Lost Vieuxtemps

The Vogtland Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1992 as a joint project between the German states of Thuringia and Saxony, and is thereby unique in Germany.

Simon Edelmann, 1st prize winner at the renowned 2nd KNSO International Conducting Competition, has served as Kapellmeister of the Vogtland Philharmonie since the 2024/25 season and has performed with renowned orchestras including the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra. They are joined on this recording by violinists Gina-Sophie Gaebelein, Judith Kaiser, Sujung Yun, Chiara-Marie Dullin and Lisa Wolf.

This CD on the ARS PRODUKTION label features no fewer than eleven world premiere recordings from the pen of the great Belgian violinist and composer Henri Vieuxtemps (1820-1881), presenting miniatures, mostly written for personal use in concert, set forf five violins and orchestra. The miniatures were often performed as a supplement to large concertante forms. Some were published, but always in more easily marketable arrangements for violin and piano, with the violin part sometimes being toned down.
