Violin JESÚS REINA
Three sonatas for orchestra, A. García Abril
Violin Concerto in E minor, Op.64, F. Mendelssohn
The Wooden Prince Suite (Concerto for orchestra), B. Bartók
Few composers do not feel the need to dig deep into their musical roots. The greatest have always benefited from this search and, in searching, have also benefited us. By looking back, Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)decisively contributed to the recovery of the then-forgotten figure of Johann Sebastian Bach; Béla Bartók (1881-1945),painfully aware of living in a country of long-borrowed voices, started the tradition of ethnomusicology by looking for the soul of Hungarian music among fieldworkers; and Antón García Abril (1933),owner of a confident, vigorous personality, was not scared of investigating the past either - it is precisely what he does in justly best known orchestra pieces, the Three sonatas for orchestra, based on three sonatas by one of the Spanish composers most revisited by our contemporaries, Padre Soler.
One of Mendelssohn’s most beautiful compositions, and at the same time one of the essential concertos for violin repertoires, opens this contribution of the Malaga Philharmonic with young Malaga violinist Jesús Reina to the celebration of the bicentenary of the German musician.Everything in this concerto is seductive. Mendelssohn was on to something when he wrote "concerto [...] in E minor runs through my head, the beginning of which gives me no peace".
The regenerating influence of folk music and expressionism on Béla Bartókis evident in three great works which unfortunately had no continuity in their production. Of these three, the one we will hear in this concert, The Wooden Prince, somewhatfavoured the creation of the other two. This musical pantomime had a grand total of thirty rehearsals before it premièred,a circumstance as strange then as it is now, which made the composer tremendously happy and also contributed to its resounding success. The echoes of this success led to the première of the opera Bluebeard’s Castle and encouraged Bartók to compose The Miraculous Mandarin. Bartók’s vibrant music animates The Wooden Prince, a tale brimming with symbolism.
