THE MATERIALS HAVE TO BE HIRED
My dedication to the string instruments has been a constant throughout my compositional career and I knew that sooner or later the time would come to compose a concerto for violin and orchestra. That moment came in the autumn of 2002 and I finished it in August of 2003.
It is a work structured similarly to the traditional concertos. An important impetus for the elaboration of my concerto was due to the ill-fated violinist Ginette Neveu. Her version of Sibelius’ Concerto has always stayed with me. Furthermore, also influenced me the words that my friend violinist Emilio Moreno dedicated me in writing about my contribution to the strings.
The first movement, "Moderato-Allegro", begins with a contemplative atmosphere in which the principal thematic ideas appear tentatively. These ideas, two rhythmic and two melodic, are reaffirmed through a broad development that culminates in an orchestral fullness. A calm, mysterious passage recalls the introduction and after becoming blurred, three bars burst in leading to the rapid section of the movement. Soloist and orchestra engage in a dialectic struggle of a dramatic nature. The agitation subsides leaving only a tranquil and suggestive clarinet phrase. This will be taken up by the soloist who leads up to the movement’s most dramatic moment playing an accelerating triplet figure supported by an orchestral pedal in crescendo. From here the soloist’s cadenza emerges beginning with soft double notes. It finishes with an ascending progression and the soloist settles into the high register to elicit the orchestra’s intervention in a soft and transfigured atmosphere.
Once internalised the second movement, "Adagio poco sostenuto e leggero" begins. It has a solemn character and opens with two trumpet calls answered by the violoncellos and the contrabasses. The violin soloist introduces and plays two nostalgic themes, the first in the low register and the second, more extensive, in the middle register. The soft and delicate "Misterioso e leggero" begins with the violin singing on high. The rhythm of the constant quaver figures gradually accelerates until the soloist provokes a dramatic full orchestra as in a cadenza. Once again, the "Calmo", in which the soloist with less and less orchestral attire serenely bids farewell. A rising series of double stops by the soloist serves to initiate the "Finale-Scherzo". In 6/8 rhythm and with the character of a rondo it carries us along in a carefree, virtuosic ambiance. The principal motives, brief and concise, emerge from the happy, playful theme presented by the soloist. With an intricate progression of rapid sixths in double stops it reaches a tense and somewhat combative moment. However this resolves itself in a diminuendo that the soloist peacefully takes up with the notes re-la to commence the cadenza. This culminates in a series of tied notes to reintroduce the principal theme. A moment of melodic suspension serves as a farewell before the brief and jovial final coda.
The work was premiered on September 23rd 2005 at the “Teatro Monumental de Madrid” by the Symphonic Orchestra of the RTVE with Markus Placci as a soloist and under the direction of Uwe Mund.
Recorded by RNE and Canal Clásico of the TVE.
