Extractions: BELA BARTOK: Concerto for Viola and Orchestra. PETER EOTVOS: Replica. GYORGY KURTAG: Movement for Viola and Orchestra - Kim Kashkashian, viola. Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra conducted by Peter Eotvos. ECM New Series 1711. There is a serenity, acceptance and mastery of composition in Bartok's Viola Concerto that summarizes a lifetime of composition. This beautifully crafted work provides the viola an opportunity to exhibit its virtuosic wares in the context of an orchestral tapestry that illuminates its strengths without overpowering its vulnerable character. The adagio is of the same ilk as the slow movements of the last two piano concertos: calm and exquisitely beautiful. The last movement is a rondo characteristic of one of the many Hungarian folk tunes that rejuvenated Bartok's compositional life. Kim Kashkashkian plays expressively with a flawless technique. She is ably partnered by the Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra and the recording is well balanced and clear. If you don't know this masterly work, this is a great place to start. The Movement for Viola and Orchestra was written in 1954 by Gyorgy Kurtag as a graduation work and has elements of late romanticism interspersed with the strength and excitement of the conservative modernism of the fifties.

Extractions: The Nova Scotia Symphony Orchestra Last Thursday evening , Sackville music lovers were treated to a wonderful program of Brahms and Beethoven on the first concert of what promises to be an exciting Performing Arts Series. Featured artists for the recent concert included native Montreal pianist Janina Fialkowska, Symphony Nova Scotia, under the baton of Simon Streatfield, and guest concertmaster Isabelle Fournier, who joined us from England, where she is a member of the illustrious St. Martin-in-the-Fields Orchestra. (Ms. Fournier, who is from Moncton, undoubtedly brought back many pleasant musical memories to many local residents who remembered her.) The program consisted of only two works, but what works those were: in the first half, Brahms' Piano Concerto in d minor, Op. 15, and in the second, Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92! The Brahms concerto, a work in three movements or sections, is a monumental pillar of the keyboard-and-orchestra literature. The first movement, nearly twenty minutes in length, is emotionally charged, and journeys through passages of intense drama and fire as well as great awe and revelation. The second movement, a slow and reflective one, expresses beautifully feelings of intense longing and unfulfilled desire, and represents, for me, Romantic music at its best. What ends this work is an exciting and titanic gallop with fantastic rhythms, dialogue-like interactions between piano and orchestra, and dazzling displays of pianistic virtuosity.
