Lutosławski: Concerto for Orchestra; Partita; Novelette

Tetzlaff, Christian;
Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra;
Collon, Nicholas

ODE 1444-2

This new album conducted by Nicholas Collon continues Ondine’s award-winning series of orchestral works by Witold Lutosławski (1913–1994) together with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra. The series has gathered several accolades, including a GRAMMY nomination, a BBC Music Magazine Awards nomination, as well as several recording of the month awards and best recordings of the year nominations. This album includes the composer’s early hit, his folklorish masterpiece Concerto for Orchestra, which is among his most performed compositions. The album also includes Partita for Violin and Orchestra (with Christian Tetzlaff as soloist), a virtuosic 5-movement work which in its orchestral version is not short of a Violin Concerto. The rarity in the album is Lutoslawski’s Novelette from 1979, which, although fragmentary, is already pointing toward the ideas of his 3rd Symphony.

Works:

•Lutosławski: Concerto for Orchestra (1950/54)
•Lutosławski: Partita for Violin and Orchestra (1988)
•Lutosławski: Novelette (1979)
