"The fact that the present CD still exudes considerable unity is due to the consistently high quality of the interpretations of the three disparate works, with emphasis on the fine textures in the solo part (Isabelle van Keulen) as well as in the orchestra (NDR Radiophiharmonie). [...] The conductors Andrew Manze (Prokofiev), Keri-Lynn Wilson (Walton) and Andrew Litton (Vaughan Williams) work equally well on the excellent skills of the orchestra."

About the album

Here is a disc whose contents seem odd as it couples the violin concerto of a (still) Russian composer to the viola concerto of an English one. Instead, the coupling is very clever since Prokofiev’s First Violin Concerto, whose premiere was in 1923 (while the composer was still living in France, a few years before his return to Soviet Union) served as a much-admired model to Walton’s Viola Concerto, whose first performance was played by Paul Hindemith in 1929. The similarities between the two works go beyond the three-movements structure slow-quick-slow and concern themes, accompaniments and the rondo form of the virtuoso central Scherzo.

The smart idea of such unusual coupling came to one of the few great living violinists who can really play the viola with equal skill: Isabelle van Keulen. This glorious disc is crowned by the orchestrated version of Vaughan Williams’ masterpiece The Lark Ascending.
One of German radio best orchestras, the NDR Radiophilharmonie, is conducted by Andrew Manze (Prokofiev), Keri-Lynn Wilson (Walton) and Andrew Litton (Vaughan Williams).
We zijn het van haar gewend, maar dat ze het ook iedere keer waarmaakt is wel bijzonder. Het is topvioliste Isabelle van Keulen opnieuw gelukt, samen met een van Duitslands beste orkesten de NDR Radiophilharmonie, een fantastisch album uit te brengen met wonderschone vioolmuziek.

Bijzondere combinatie

Op het eerste gezicht lijkt de combinatie van de stukken op het album misschien wat vreemd. Het is niet vanzelfsprekend om het vioolconcert van een Russische componist te koppelen aan het concert voor altviool van een Engelse componist. Maar niets is minder waar, deze koppeling is juist een heel slim idee geweest van Isabelle van Keulen, die op de altviool net zo goed speelt als op de viool. Het eerste Viool Concert van Prokofjev, dat in 1923 in première ging toen de componist nog in Parijs woonde voor hij terugkeerde naar de Sovjet-Unie, diende als geliefd model voor het altviool concert van Walton, dat in 1929 voor het eerst werd gespeeld door altviolist Paul Hindemith. De overeenkomst tussen de twee werken gaat verder dan de uit drie bewegingen bestaande opbouw langzaam-snel-langzaam, het blijkt ook uit de thema's, de begeleiding en de vorm van het rondo van het virtuoze Scherzo.

Een opstijgende leeuwerik tot slot

Dit voortreffelijke album wordt afgesloten met het mooie The Lark Ascending van de Engelse componist Vaughan Williams. Het is de muzikale uitbeelding van een leeuwerik die opstijgt en steeds hoger vliegt. Het stuk is geïnspireerd op een gedicht van George Meredith, geschreven over de leeuwerik en zijn gezang. Vaughan Williams componeerde het stuk oorspronkelijk voor piano en viool maar herschreef het later voor soloviool en orkest. Deze versie werd de bekendste en de meest uitgevoerde van de twee.

Isabelle van Keulen: "De drie werken zijn niet theatraal, zonder pretenties, ze lossen als het ware op in het niets, ze maken de cirkel rond. Al vanaf het begin van mijn carrière zijn ze me buitengewoon dierbaar en vertegenwoordigen ze nog steeds wat ik zo magisch vind aan muziek: hun kracht ligt in de eenvoud."
Das Programm dieser CD scheint seltsam, stellt es doch das Violinkonzert eines (noch) russischen Komponisten neben das Bratschenkonzert eines englischen. Dieses scheinbar ungleiche Paar ist jedoch sehr geschickt verbunden, denn Prokofjews Erstes Violinkonzert, 1923 uraufgeführt (zu einer Zeit, in der Prokofjew noch in Frankreich lebte, einige Jahre, bevor er in die Sowjetunion zurückkehrte), diente als beliebtes Modell für Waltons Bratschenkonzert, das 1929 mit Paul Hindemith Premiere feierte. Die Gemeinsamkeiten der beiden Werke gehen über den dreisätzigen Aufbau langsam-schnell-langsam hinaus und zeigen sich auch in Themen, Begleitung und der Rondoform des virtuosen, zentralen Scherzos.

Der geniale Gedanke einer solch ungewöhnlichen Verbindung kam einer der wenigen, großen Violinistinnen unserer Tage, die die Bratsche ebenso gekonnt spielt wie die Geige: Isabelle van Keulen. Die Orchesterversion von Vaughan Williams‘ Meisterwerk The Lark Ascending krönt diese großartige CD.
Eines der besten deutschen Rundfunkorchester, die NDR Radiophilharmonie, spielt unter der Leitung von Andrew Manze (Prokofjew), Keri-Lynn Wilson (Walton) und Andrew Litton (Vaughan Williams).

”Her taut musical intelligence and vivid sound combined with a fine instinct for the tender, searching quality of this music … absolutely magical.” The Guardian Since her breakthrough in 1984 winning the BBC Young Musician of the Year, a competition that was broadcast all over Europe and watched live on television by millions, Isabelle van Keulen can now look back on many years of musical diversity. Not only is it always vital for her to approach the musical score with honesty and with an extremely consious approach to interpretation, she also strives to communicate with her audiences and musical partners, allowing her to perform in an inspirational, lively and enthusiastic manner.
Her versatility lies in the fact that she not only plays the violin, but as well viola with the same energy, performing chamber music in any thinkable combination and directing chamber orchestra performances. Whether in the over 20 year intense collaboration with the Dutch pianist Ronald Brautigam, concerts with mezzo soprano Christianne Stotijn, performing/directing the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, combining violin and viola in one appearance, or being a soloist with orchestras such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Berlin Philharmonic or NHK Tokyo. Above all, being faithful to the music is her highest priority.
She has over the course of her career engaged works written by contemporary composers. She had many concertos written especially for her (Theo Loevendie, Erkki-Sven Tüür) and has many other 20th and 21st century works in her repertoire: Concertos by Henri Dutilleux, John Adams and Lera Auerbach. She also likes to perform less known works by Colin Matthews and Concertos by Krenek, Pettersson and Busoni.

Composer(s)

Ralph Vaughan Williams

Ralph Vaughan Williams was an English composer and folk song collector. His works include operas, ballets, chamber music, secular and religious vocal pieces and orchestral compositions including nine symphonies, written over nearly fifty years. Strongly influenced by Tudor music and English folk-song, his output marked a decisive break in British music from its German-dominated style of the 19th century. He wrote many works for amateur and student performance. He was musically a late developer, not finding his true voice until his late thirties; his studies in 1907–08 with the French composer Maurice Ravel helped him clarify the textures of his music. Vaughan Williams is among the best-known British symphonists, noted for his very wide range of moods, from stormy and impassioned to...

Vaughan Williams is among the best-known British symphonists, noted for his very wide range of moods, from stormy and impassioned to tranquil, from mysterious to exuberant. Among the most familiar of his other concert works are Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis (1910) and The Lark Ascending (1914). His vocal works include hymns, folk-song arrangements and large-scale choral pieces. He wrote eight works for stage performance between 1919 and 1951. Although none of his operas became popular repertoire pieces, his ballet Job: A Masque for Dancing (1930) was successful and has been frequently staged.

William Walton

Sir William Walton, in full Sir William Turner Walton, (born March 29, 1902, Oldham, Lancashire, Eng.—died March 8, 1983, Ischia, Italy), English composer especially known for his orchestral music. His early work made him one of England’s most important composers between the time of Vaughan Williams and that of Benjamin Britten. Walton, the son of a choirmaster father and a vocalist mother, studied violin and piano desultorily as a boy and also sang, with somewhat better results, in his father’s choir. He taught himself composition, although he received advice from both Ernest Ansermet and Ferruccio Busoni. In 1912 he entered the University of Oxford, where he sang in the choir of Christ Church. He put in the requisite four years of study but failed by one examination (Responsonions) to win a bachelor of music degree....

He taught himself composition, although he received advice from both Ernest Ansermet and Ferruccio Busoni. In 1912 he entered the University of Oxford, where he sang in the choir of Christ Church. He put in the requisite four years of study but failed by one examination (Responsonions) to win a bachelor of music degree. At Oxford he had met the Sitwell brothers, Osbert and Sacheverell, by whom he was virtually adopted, and he spent most of the next decade traveling with them or living with them at Chelsea. During this period he composed Façade (1923)—a set of pieces for chamber ensemble, to accompany the Sitwells’ sister Edith in a recitation of her poetry—as well as Sinfonia Concertante for piano and orchestra (1928; revised 1943) and Portsmouth Point (1926), which established his reputation as an orchestral composer.

Walton was influenced by some of his older contemporaries, notably Edward Elgar, Igor Stravinsky, and Paul Hindemith. Hindemith was soloist in the first performance of one of Walton’s finest works, his Viola Concerto (1929). Walton also composed a number of scores for motion pictures, including Major Barbara (1941), Henry V (1944), Hamlet (1947), and Richard III (1954). His vocal music includes the oratorio Belshazzar’s Feast (1931) and the operas Troilus and Cressida (1954) and The Bear (one act; 1967). The composer received a knighthood in 1951.

Prokofiev is considered as one of the greatest Russian composers of the twentieth century, even though he wasn't a great innovator. He generally applied the strict classical forms and structures to his works and focused on a classical tonality, with a few exceptions of expressive dissonants and incidental bitonality. Yet, he is only explicitly neoclassicistic in his popular 'Classical Symphony', his first symphony composed in 1917. Many of his works show his humour, while his later works presented his darker, more serious side. One of his best known works is the musical fairytale Peter and the Wolf, which is popular among children all over the world.

There are myriad subtle insights throughout where she, Manze and the orchestra are in delicious collusion. ...the orchestra shines best in a warm and detailed recording.
The Strad, 25-2-2019

It is nice to be able to compare them, and even better to once again establish that violinist Van Keulen also belongs to the top with the viola. Beautiful. Rating: 9.
Luister, 01-1-2019

Isabelle van Keulen plays it all with ease and contagious enthusiasm, one feels how these three works belong to her favorites.
Jo Cornille, 21-12-2018

Van Keulen is in her element and there is a nice exchange of ideas between the musicians in the orchestra and the soloist.
De Volkskrant, 13-12-2018

Prokofiev’s First Violin Concerto and Walton’s Vila Concert are somehow related. Together with Vaughan Williams’s rhapsodic The Lark Ascending they allow the versatile and brilliant Isabelle van Keulen to excel on both instruments. The orchestral performances are exciting as well.
