Newly Discovered Paganini for the First Time on CD
The label HERA presents a “little” musical sensation: newly discovered Paganini for the first time on CD.
In his new recording of Nicoló Paganini's violin concertos no. 2 and no. 4 violinist MICHAEL JELDEN has recorded for the first time the 2nd movement originally composed for the concerto no. 2 "La Campanella", by Paganini himself.
While researching in a Roman library, Mr JELDEN found the newly discovered Adagio in Paganini's manuscript of the 2nd concerto, standing even before the known Adagio actually played everywhere. Since the manuscript of the Adagio consists merely of the solo part and sketches of the orchestra score, Mr JELDEN has orchestrated the oeuvre, making available one of Paganini's most intriguing and beautiful compositions. On May 29, 2004, German radio station SWR2 has presented the recording of the Adagio to the public.
The CD HERA02115 (distributed in Germany by Klassik Center Kassel (HER2115), in BeNeLux by New Baltic, in Japan by Aria CD, for other countries please contact HERA) is another recording in the typical HERA-style: no studio recording, but a recording from the concert hall. Minimal yet first class microphony maintains and enhances an authentical "live" atmosphere. The Vogtland-Philharmony Greiz/Reichenbach under the baton of Stefan Fraas supports the solo violin part perfectly, and dazzles with impulsive musicianship in the orchestral parts.
Mr JELDEN, who is also a talented linguist (he has written several dictionaries and grammar books for the Georgian, German, English and Hungarian languages and speaks more than 15 languages) and who has also spent some time in artificial intelligence software research, has always been a musical pioneer: Mr JELDEN not only rediscovered the legendary opera house Teatro Amazonas in Manaus in the Brazilian Amazon for classical music but realized in this very venue Latin America's largest opera festival ("Der Spiegel", "Vogue" and others reported): All of Mr JELDEN's recordings for HERA contain world premieres: Jenö Hubay: Scénes de la Csárdá (HER2101); Johannes Brahms: Violasonaten Opus 120, for the first time in the composer's violin version (HER2102); Franz Schubert: Arpeggione-Sonate, for the first time in the first printed version which was for violin (HER2102); Aram Khatchaturian: complete works for violin on 2CDs (HER2104 / HER2105).
