SACHER COMMISSIONED WORKS
All good things go in threes:
Three masterpieces linked by strong; moving; occasionally secret ties: first of all; by Paul Sacher; Swiss benefactor and conductor who commissioned works from all three composers. Then; a certain instrumental colour with a Central European tinge in Bartók and Veress; but also in Dutilleux; French composer who uses – probably as a form of tribute – one of the most emblematic of Hungarian instruments; the cimbalom.
Three great 20th century classics interpreted by Heinz Holliger; composer; conductor; oboist and pianist ; a friend of Paul Sacher’s; he was also Sándor Veress’ pupil in his composition class in Bern. Hungarian pianist Dénes Várjon – who won the Géza Anda prize in Zurich – plays Veress’ Concerto with finesse and conviction; defending the composer with brio; as he did in his amazing Hommage à Paul Klee for two pianos; with András Schiff and Heinz Holliger for Teldec).
Finally; to complete the trio; one of the best Swiss chamber orchestras of today; the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne; whose fundamental repertoire includes the three works presented on this CD.
