A very brief, solemn orchestral introduction precedes the soloist’s appearance in Max Bruch’s First Violin Concerto, completed in 1868. The virtuoso delicacy of the violin prefaces the forceful entrance of the orchestra and the development of a typically Romantic tension between the individual and nature – the subject at the centre of the cosmic drama – with skilfully shaped melodic lines and a clarity reminiscent of Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto.

When he composed the music for the ballet The Wooden Prince, which premiered in Budapest in 1917, Béla Bartók was mindful of the popular wisdom of stories that seem to have a timeless relevance. Although major works such as his First Violin Concerto and the opera Duke Bluebeard’s Castle had already been performed, he was not highly thought of. His fortunes would change, however, thanks to this ballet, a score that requires a huge orchestra, and conveys the magic of a fairy tale in a faux naïve style.

English

Una brevísima y solemne presentación orquestal prepara la intervención del solista en el primer concierto para violín de Max Bruch, finalizado en 1868. Las filigranas virtuosas conminan a su vez la intervención contundente del conjunto sinfónico y el desarrollo de una tensión entre individuo y naturaleza típicamente romántica –el sujeto atrapado en medio de un drama cósmico– con líneas melódicas hábilmente perfiladas y una claridad que recuerda al concierto para violín de Mendelssohn.

Con la mirada puesta en la sabiduría popular de relatos que parecen revestidos de una validez atemporal, Béla Bartók compuso una música para el ballet El príncipe de madera, estrenado en Budapest en 1917. Aunque ya habían visto la luz obras tan importantes como su primer concierto para violín o la ópera El castillo de Barbazul, no gozaba de un aprecio especial. Sin embargo, su suerte cambió gracias a este ballet, una partitura que requiere una orquesta enorme y que nos sumerge en la magia de un cuento de hadas con un estilo falsamente naíf.

español

Una brevíssima i solemne presentació orquestral prepara la intervenció del solista del primer concert per a violí de Max Bruch, acabat el 1868. Les filigranes virtuoses comminen al seu torn la intervenció contundent del conjunt simfònic i el desenvolupament d’una tensió entre individu i naturalesa típicament romàntica –el subjecte al bell mig del drama còsmic– amb línies melòdiques hàbilment perfilades i una claredat que recorda el concert per a violí de Mendelssohn.

Amb la mirada posada en la saviesa popular de relats que semblen revestits d’una validesa atemporal, Béla Bartók va compondre música per al ballet El príncep de fusta, estrenat a Budapest el 1917. Tot i que ja havien vist la llum obres tan importants com el seu primer concert per a violí o l’òpera El castell de Barbablava, no era especialment apreciat. La sort canviaria gràcies a aquest ballet, una partitura que requereix d’una orquestra enorme, que ens trasllada la màgia d’un conte de fades amb un estil falsament naïf.
