The collaboration with conductor/composer Peter Eötvos and the programme are an intense series of connections. Between Bartók, Ligeti, Eötvös and Kopatchinskaja, there are many links: Hungary, the land of the 3 composers featured Peter Eötvos was the conductor of the first performance of the second version of Ligeti violin concerto, in 1992, with Ensemble Modern Patricia Kopatchinakaja and Peter Eötvös have been working together for 4 years, performing several concertos including those recorded here “Kopatchinskaja’s fantasy and fluidity in Bartok is spellbinding.” -- BBC Music Magazine | Orchestral Choice “Despite the huge technical challenges thrown at her, Patricia Kopatchinskaja plays with a deep and selfless understansing of each score.” -- The Sunday Times “Peter Eötvös impose à ses orchestres une netteté au scalpel à laquelle répond la sonorité d’une pureté inouïe du violon peu vibré de Patricia Kopatchinskaja.” -- Le Soir “Ihr Barfußsein auf dem Podium ist für die moldawische Geigerin Patricia Kopatchinskaja natürlich nur ein Ausdruck gespannter Sinneswahrnehmung ihrer unmittelbaren professionellen Umgebung. Podiumsschwingungen, Energieströme der Orchestermusiker, Impulse vom Dirigierpult, Stimmungen aus dem Publikum – das alles soll direkt, ohne Leder, Wolle oder Strumpfkunstfaser direkt zu ihr vordringen, sich sensualistisch ausbreiten, ihre Interpretation beflügeln.” -- Die Welt -- Gramophone Choice --

本版是由丹尼尔哈丁指挥自己的亲兵瑞典广播交响乐团与著名的女小提琴家伊莎贝尔福斯特合作的巴托克的两首小提琴协奏曲。 伊莎蓓兒．佛斯特的早期演奏事業曾經和巴爾托克的奏鳴曲密不可分，經過漫長的等待她總算回頭發行巴爾托克的小提琴協奏曲專輯。第一號在巴爾托克生前完全沒有演出機會也未曾出版，佛斯特在全心投入錄音之前總是要仔細看過草稿和手稿，這點準備工作倒是從未變過，或許正因如此這個版本才會如此異常優美並且鞭辟入裡。第二號亦是如此，她和指揮哈丁選擇結尾只有管弦樂單獨演奏的原始版，而非一般常見巴爾托克為委託者塞凱里後來改寫的炫技版。哈丁有時也是樣貌多變的巴爾托克專家，清晰、投入而且敏銳。另外，你一定要好好讀過佛斯特親自撰寫的解說冊：她的解說就和她的演奏一樣充滿說服力。

The five most brilliant concertos for violin, all penned before the age of 19! Mozart was not even 15 years old when he began composing violin concertos that would serve as a backdrop at Salzburg receptions. An insatiable drive for independence would however lead the young Konzertmeister to overtly challenge musical forms, innovate with genres, humour and frivolity, all of which can be heard in this delightful first collaboration between Isabelle Faust and the musicians of Il Giardino Armonico.

巴赫写给小提琴独奏的三首奏鸣曲和组曲，无疑是西方小提琴音乐的高峰。无论是在演奏或是作曲技巧，都设立了全新标准，几个世纪以来始终是屹立不摇。巴赫的二儿子卡尔∙菲利普∙艾曼纽曾说「这些作品代表父亲对弦乐器惯用手法的丰富知识，是第一手也是最重要的纪录。」自1997年于HM发首张专辑以来，佛斯特一直都是该厂牌的亮点演奏家，今年亦提名留声机年度最佳艺人。2012年初佛斯特与阿巴多合作，二度灌录贝多芬小提琴协奏曲造成极大回响。但是不少乐迷最期盼的仍旧是佛斯特何时能把先前录制的巴赫无伴奏小提琴奏鸣曲和组曲补完，BBC第三广播电台主持人，同时也是BBC音乐杂志乐评安德鲁∙麦奎格对佛斯特上一张无伴奏专辑的评论是「兼具穆洛娃的力道、伊布拉吉莫娃的亲近感、茱莉亚∙费雪的果敢以及拉克儿∙波洁的愉悦...唯一美中不足的就是只有收录当中三首，快点给我下集吧！」是的，经过两年的等待，第二集终于将在今年夏天引爆古典乐迷沸腾的心！ Two years after her disc of the D minor and E major Partitas and the C major Sonata, Isabelle Faust completes her set of Bach's works for solo violin with G minor and A minor Sonatas and the B minor Partita. As you would expect from this most immaculate and intelligent of today's violinists, the performances are very well prepared. In a sleeve note, Faust describes the works as presenting "an enormous mass of questions which seems to grow bigger with every attempt to answer them", so that any interpretation is, at best, a "snapshot" of a continuing process. Yet there is still a wonderful security and confidence about her approach, a flexibility in her phrasing, and a remarkable control of dynamic and colour. At times, the faster movements could be a bit more unbuttoned, a little less detached, but the quality of Faust's playing is never in doubt. 'Quite often her playing allows a generous measure of rhythmic freedom – as in the Second Partita's Sarabande, for example; at other times she's concerned to maintain a strong momentum. [ . . . ] In short: Isabelle Faust has a magnificent grasp of this music. Hear her if you can!' Gramophone Editor's Choice 2010 (Bach, Sonatas & Partitas vol.1, HMC 902059)

Carolin Widmann, Violin

One of the most promising violinists of the new generation, young Moldovan Patricia Kopatchinskaja makes her Naïve debut with a captivating disc that includes Beethoven’s masterpiece, the “Kreutzer” Sonata, Ravel’s Violin Sonata, Bartók’s Romanian Dances and the premier recording of the Violin Sonata by her accompanist, the outstanding Turkish pianist and composer, Fazil Say. Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No. 9 in A, commonly known as the “Kreutzer” Sonata, was published in 1802, and is known for its demanding violin part, unusual length and emotional scope. The piece’s title comes from its dedicatee, Rodolphe Kreutzer, who was considered to be the finest violinist of the day. Ironically, Kreutzer never performed it, and considered it unplayable. Patricia Kopatchinskaja was born in Moldavia (now Moldova), and studied composition and the violin in Vienna and Berne before winning first prize in the International Henryk Szeryng Competition in 2000, followed two years later by the prestigious Crédit Suisse Group Young Artist Award. She represented Austria in the ‘Rising Stars’ concert series in the main European centres and New York. In 2004 she received the New Talent-SPP Award from the EBU and in 2006 the Förderpreis Deutschlandfunk, and now plays with leading orchestras and major festivals worldwide. More information at Born in Ankara in Turkey, Fazil Say studied piano and composition at the State Conservatory of his home city. At 17 he was awarded a scholarship enabling him to work for five years with David Levine at the Robert Schumann Institute in Düsseldorf. From 1992-1995 he pursued his studies at the Berlin Conservatory. Say’s discography includes Stravinsky’s four-hand arrangement of The Rite of Spring, in which he plays both parts himself. This recording brought him several international awards, including the 2001 EchoPreis Klassik and the German Music Critics’ Best Recording of the Year. For Naïve, he has made recordings of Mozart Piano Concertos Nos. 21, 21 & 23 (V4992) and Beethoven’s ‘Appassionata’, ‘Tempest’ & ‘Waldstein’ Sonatas (V5016), and his own music, Black Earth (V4954). His most recent CD, a selection of Haydn Sonatas (V5070), was released in 2007. He gives a recital at the Edinburgh International Festival on 19 August.
