Description
Ces deux concertos de J.Haydn sont de grands classiques du répertoire pour violoncelle. Pour moi, ils font parti de ces pièces qui accompagnent un violoncelliste dans les différentes étapes et moments de sa vie . J’ai eu la chance et le plaisir de les jouer plusieurs fois avec orchestre . C’est une musique solaire qui me parle beaucoup.
Le concerto N 1 en Do Majeur a été écrit vers 1762 pour le violoncelliste Joseph Weigl, qui a été engagé en même temps qu'Haydn à la cour du prince Paul II Anton Esterházy. Ce concerto est d’une franchise et d’une simplicité saine et naïve qui me touchent. Robuste mais jamais agressif , délicat sans être mièvre. Le final est brillant , mais pas ostentatoire. C’est dans ce sens que j’aime le caractère authentique de Joseph Haydn dans son écriture.
Vingt ans plus tard, a été écrit le concerto N 2 en Ré Majeur. Beaucoup plus délicat et subtil que le premier, ce concerto d’une grande difficulté technique ne supporte pas, à mon sens, le moindre écart de style. On retrouve cette simplicité et cette fraîcheur mais cette fois teintée de mélancolie et de maturité. À aucun moment la technicité n’est là pour palier un manque d’inspiration musicale. Bien au contraire elle en est au service.
Enregistrés tous les deux en une journée, l’urgence et l’énergie déployées me laisseront un souvenir impérissable et unique de cette journée qui fut, pour moi, un vrai moment de vie. J’ai eu la chance d’être entourée de merveilleux musiciens et amis. Je vous souhaite une belle écoute et espère que la joie et la passion avec lesquelles j’ai enregistré ce disque vous seront transmises !
These two concertos by J. Haydn are great classics of the cello repertoire. Personally, I find them to be part of those special pieces that accompany a cellist in the different stages and moments of his/her life. I have had the chance and the pleasure to play them several times with orchestra. This type of “solar” music speaks to me a lot.
Concerto No. 1 in C Major was written around 1762 for cellist Joseph Weigl, who was hired at the same time as Haydn at the court of Prince Paul II Anton Esterházy. This concerto has a frankness and a healthy and naive simplicity that is quite touching. Robust but never aggressive, delicate without being cutesy. The ending is brilliant, but not ostentatious. It is in this sense that I like the authenticity of Joseph Haydn in his writing.
Twenty years later, Concerto No. 2 in D Major was written. Much more delicate and subtle than the first, this technically difficult concerto does not, in my opinion, support the slightest variation in style. We find the same simplicity and freshness, but this time tinged with melancholy and maturity. At no time is the technicality there to compensate for a lack of musical inspiration. On the contrary, it is at its service.
Both recorded in one day, the urgency and the energy deployed will leave me with an unforgettable and unique memory of this day which was a real moment of life. I was fortunate to be surrounded by wonderful musicians and friends. I wish you a pleasant listening and hope that the joy and the passion with which I recorded this disc will be transmitted to you !
