Description:
Featuring Contrasting Viola Sonatas from the Russian Imperial Era [Overview] ◆ Strength vs. Tenderness This album features two viola sonatas that highlight stylistic differences emblematic of the trends in Russian music from the mid-19th century to the early 20th century. While Rubinstein’s sonata is a dramatic work characterized by rich harmonies, Winkler’s sonata is more introspective, emphasizing clarity, counterpoint, and an intimate dialogue. Both works are characterized by their portrayal of the viola as an expressive partner on equal footing with the piano, exploring the instrument’s depth of tone and lyrical potential. ◆ Rubinstein: A German Romantic This sonata was composed in 1855 by Anton Rubinstein, the pianist who founded Russia’s first conservatory. It is a warm, lyrical work in which the singing quality of the viola’s lower-mid range interplays with an exquisitely intricate and brilliant piano part. ◆The Russian-Style Winkler Composed in 1901 by Alexander Winkler, who served as Prokofiev’s piano teacher at the St. Petersburg Conservatory and was also active in the “Belyayev Circle.” While it features a Russian-style, emotive sound, it is characterized by... The final movement features variations on a traditional aria from the Brittany region of France, and is characterized by a journey-like structure that foreshadows his later fate as an exile in France. [Works] ◆ Anton Rubinstein: Viola Sonata in B-flat minor, Op. 49 Composed in 1855 by Anton Rubinstein—the great pianist who founded Russia’s first conservatory—this is a pioneering sonata of the mid-Romantic period. Modeled on the German Romantic style, this warm and lyrical masterpiece features a harmonious interplay between the viola’s melodious lower-midrange and the piano part’s exquisite and brilliant passages. ◆Alexander Winkler: Viola Sonata, Op. 10 Composed in 1901 by Alexander Winkler, who served as Prokofiev’s piano teacher at the St. Petersburg Conservatory and was also active in the “Belyayev Circle.” Although a duo, it symphonically condenses the rich, colorful sound characteristic of the Russian Nationalist School. The final movement features variations on a traditional aria from the Brittany region of France, and is characterized by a journey-like structure that foreshadows his later fate as an exile in France.
