Format : Score and Parts
Concerto pour Cor et Orchestre est une commande du corniste Miguel Martínez Megias et du Brass Band La Armónica de la ville de Buñol en Espagne. Il ne s'agit pas vraiment d'une oeuvre à programme - le compositeursouhaitait mettre pleinement en avant les capacités du cor en tant que voix solo et enrichir le répertoire pour ce superbe instrument. Le concerto se fragmente en quatre parties chacune dotée de son propre caractére installant un climat bienparticulier. Rythmes tourbillonnants changements de tonalités cadences et traits lyriques viennent ponctuer cette oeuvre majestueuse.

The two concertos contained in this volume represent two different stylistic periods within Martinu's work. TheConcerto da Camera(1941) is the last of his works inspired by the Baroque concerto grosso. TheRhapsody-Concerto, composed eleven years later (1952), was the first work of his so-calledfantasia period, marked by a more open sense of form and an expansion of tonality. The edition of theConcerto da Camerashows, for the first time, the extent of Martinu's modifications to the work since its composition and publication, particularly to the solo violin part. The edition of theRhapsody-Concertotakes into account previously unknown contemporary performance materials which have recently been discovered.This volume of the Bohuslav Martinu Complete Edition (BMCE) is based on a wealth of text and music sources, in particular autographs and contemporary copies that were recognized by the composer and early performers of the works, as well as some first editions produced under the supervision of Martinu.
