“This 2006 collection by violinist Daniel Rubenstein and pianist
Muhiddin Dürrüoglu-Demiriz features five modern works for violin and piano
that are clearly indebted to the partita, and one short piece that is a
drastic condensation of it.” “To close, Rubenstein and Dürrüoglu-Demiriz perform Don Freund's
Sonapartita Noch Nach Bach (2001), which brings a spirit of postmodern
appropriation to the album in its ruthless recycling of J.S. Bach's Sonata in
G minor. “ “The relaxed recital atmosphere of this recording is a plus, and the
musicians' interpretations are always appropriate, even though the moods of
these pieces are highly varied. The sound of the recording is clean and warm,
and the acoustics of the Théatre Saint-Michel, Brussels, are resonant without
being a distraction.” Blair Sanderson – All Music - ___________________________________________________________________
“Imaginative programming and imposing
performances” “Daniel Rubenstein’s admirable
technique” “The final work in this impressive
programme is Sonapartita by the Pittsburgh-born composer Don Freund, written
for this duo’s programme of new music for violin and piano inspired by a
Baroque ancestry. Freund contributes his own programme note, helpfully pointing
out the extensive musical references to Bach, and other modern composers like
Lukas Foss and Stravinsky for whom such a resource has also been important.
The title is a tribute to ‘Nach Bach’, a harpsichord piece by Georges
Rochburg, and the third movement Presto is an exact replica of the final
movement of J.S. Bach’s G minor Sonata for solo violin with piano bits added.
Other elements are derived from ancient dance forms and echoes of the
composers "life-long immersion in the music of Bach." “This well-filled CD has top
performances by this duo, whose musical pedigree has already been proven on
the international competition circuit.” Dominy Clements “There is
something very refreshing about a disc which almost makes a virtue of its plainness.” “The
Stravinsky is an arrangement the composer made of movements from
"Pulcinella" for him to play with Samuel Dushkin. It is probably
the best known piece here, and comes across freshly with plenty of bounce but
without the thick vibrato-laden tone which some better known violinists have
been known to inflict on it.” “The final
piece, by the American Don Freund, was written specifically for this CD and
takes its name from Bach’s two great sets of works for unaccompanied violin –
the Sonatas and the Partitas. (…) It is an enjoyable piece, and one which I
hope will have a life beyond this disc.” “The two
performers have set themselves a formidable task with this programme, but
come out of it very well.” “Overall
this is a disc that is likely to provide much - possibly unexpected -
pleasure.” John Sheppard ___________________________________________________________________
• IU faculty composer Don Freund holds his own in distinguished
company on a CD featuring "Suites & Partitas of Modern Times",
these including Stravinsky's Suite Italienne, Alfred Schnittke's Suite in
Altem Style, and Dallapiccola's "Tartiniana Seconda." Freund's
"Sonapartita, Noch Nach Bach" is a heady blend of tradition and modernism
suggestive throughout the composer's devotion to the master, Bach. The
excellent performers are violinist Daniel Rubenstein and pianist Muhiddin
Dürrüoglu-Demiriz, both IU alums now based in Peter Jacobi - Herald Trimes - USA ___________________________________________________________________

musique du XXe sičcle est parfaitement servie par un duo oů les accords du

“Hudba 20.
století přinesla mimo jiné i historizující styly: neoklasicismus
a neobaroko. Začal s tím Igor Stravinskij v roce 1920,
svým Pulcinellou na Pergolesiho hudbu. Také první skladba tohoto CD je
z jeho pera. Je to Italská suita pro housle a klavír
v podání belgického houslisty Daniela Rubensteina
a tureckého klavíristy Muhiddina Dürrüoglu-Demirize. Oba se
rozhodli natočit komorní díla skladatelů 20. století, která se
ohlíží za hudbou baroka. Jejich CD vydané roku 2006 se jmenuje jednoduše Suites
and Partitas of Modern Times.”
”Jak asi jde
dohromady street-art s italskými houslemi Daniela Rubensteina, které
pamatují Tartiniho, se můžete přesvědčit v Graffiti
opus 16 Frédérica van Rossuma z roku 1968.” “Housloví
virtuosové vždy měli a dodnes mají sportovního ducha. Jakmile
v důležitých soutěžích prokáží svoje schopnosti, musí se
udržet na vlně zájmu o svou osobu i hru v tvrdé
konkurenci. Daniel Rubenstein se za výběrem kompozic na své CD
rozhodně neschovává. Všechny technické nástrahy zdolává
s odhodláním a jistotou.“ 11.10.2009 | Autor: Martin Flašar ___________________________________________________________________ |
