From the very beginning fantasies on the famous operas of the nineteenth century belonged to the on-the-road staples of traveling virtuosos. Volker Reinhold knows his way around this genre like no other musician. After his release of Pablo de Sarasate's complete fantasies and paraphrases on two Super Audio albums, the highly sought-after Schwerin concertmaster now again broadens our horizons with his piano partner Ralph Zedler and presents virtuoso opera arrangements spanning 150 years: discoveries are guaranteed! La traviata of course is a must on every program. Antonio Bazzini transformed Verdi's famous opera into an intimate character portrait of Violetta and in the process far transcended the virtuosic sequencing of popular hits- the otherwise inevitable "Brindisi" is not at all to be found. It is thus not surprising that both Mendelssohn and Schumann were captivated by the artistic depth of this Italian star violinist, who later became a professor of composition and whose students almost predictably included the budding opera stars Mascagni and Puccini. Two contributions were penned by Henri Vieuxtemps. His fantasy on Bellini's Norma is to be played in it's entirety on the violin's lowest string. Reinhold and Zedler conclude their entertaining tour through one and a half centuries with two works that may not be so well known but for this precise reason arouse all the most interest. Frantisek Ondricek looks eastward with his arrangement of Glinka's A Life for the Tsar, and Igor Frolov, who was once David Oistrach's assistant, supplies the dazzling conclusion with Gershwin's Porgy and Bess and it's jazzy touches, of course including "Summertime."
