Recensie

Net als het album Works for violin solo met werken van Bach en Ysaÿe weet Liza Ferschtman te imponeren met dit zeer persoonlijke programma. Uitgangspunt is de Ciaccona uit Bach’s Partita nummer 2, die zowel Bartók als Berio heeft geïnspireerd. Naast de Partita speelt Ferschtman een Passagalia van Biber, die qua vorm op de Ciaccona lijkt. Deze twee werken omsluiten de imponerende Sonate voor viool die Béla Bartók aan het einde van zijn leven voor Yehudi Menuhin schreef. In 1976, drie eeuwen na Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber’s Guardian angel, schreef Luciano Berio de uitdagende Sequenza VIII, die Ferschtman voortreffelijk speelt. Vier solowerken voor topsolisten, waarmee Liza Ferschtman aantoont dat zij tot de beste violistes van dit moment behoort.

Highly-regarded Russian-born violinist Liza Fertschtman is heard on this Hybrid SACD performing key works of the solo repertoire written during the 17th, 18th and the 20th centuries. The music includes Biber’s Passacaglia “Guardian Angel”, Bartók’s Sonata for solo violin, Berio’s Sequenza VIII, and J.S. Bach’s Partita No 2.

J. S. Bach’s Partita No. 2 for solo violin is the focal point of the programme presented here.

It is a piece to which the works of Bartok and Berio make strong references. Bartók’s Sonata represents what many consider to be the pinnacle of what is possible on the violin, without having virtuosity as its main objective. The consonance and the battle between two notes lies at the heart of Berio's Sequenza VIII. After powerful confrontations between these notes the music gradually subsides in volume and they end up forming a mellifluous union of sound. Like the other pieces on the disc a constant rhythmic pulse underpins Biber’s Passacaglia, with its persistent repeated cadence of four falling notes.

The daughter of well-known Russian musicians, Liza Ferschtman took her first violin lessons from Philip Hirschhorn at the age of five. Her other most significant teachers were Herman Krebbers, Ida Kavafian at the celebrated Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and David Takeno in London. In early 2013 she appeared with the Budapest Festival Orchestra and Ivan Fischer, making her debut in Budapest, Montreal and the Avery Fischer Hall in New York, a concert that was described by the New York Times as “nothing short of revelatory”. A passionate chamber music devotee, Liza performs with musicians such as Elisabeth Leonskaja, Jonathan Biss, Alisa Weilerstein, Christian Poltera, Julius Drake, Nobuko Imai, Lars Anders Tomter, Marie Luise Neunecker, and Sharon Kam.
