Daniel Hope: Shostakovich Violin Sonata Specifications
Much-praised young violinist Daniel Hope has put together an intelligent survey of late-20th-century works for violin and piano from Eastern Europe. The emphasis in these technically adroit, emotionally overwhelming performances is on the areas of continuity between a comparatively conservative composer such as Shostakovich and the younger composers considered dangerously avant-garde in the conformist cultural politics of socialist realism. Shostakovich's one violin sonata was a product of the period of intense creativity that followed his recovery from his first heart attack; it is a cool, bleak ruminative work that occasionally breaks out into the expression of deep sorrow. The Penderecki Cadenza is a stunningly passionate solo deriving from some of the same material as his viola concerto, the Pärt piece one of his meditations on sound and time. The Schnittke sonata, dominated by a motto derived from his name, is again the work of a dying man and all the more urgent for that. --Roz Kaveney
