Xavier Montsalvatge's "Complete Works Violin & Piano - Violoncello & Piano" is a captivating journey through the composer's intricate and expressive works for violin and cello with piano accompaniment. Released on March 23, 1999, under the Columna Música label, this album spans a rich and diverse collection of pieces that showcase Montsalvatge's unique musical language and his mastery of form and emotion.
The album opens with the delicate and evocative "Madrigal," followed by the playful "Sketch" and the tender "Duettino." The centerpiece of the album is the "Variaciones Sobre un Tema de Farnaby," a set of five variations that display Montsalvatge's virtuosic handling of theme and variation form. Each variation offers a distinct character, from the simple and elegant "Andante semplice" to the bold and decisive "Deciso."
The "Tres Policromías" trio presents a vibrant exploration of color and texture, with the "Fanfarria Recóndita" providing a dramatic opening, the "Siciliana - Furtiva" offering a moment of introspection, and the "Adagietto - Ráfaga de Tango - Allegretto" closing with a lively and rhythmic flourish.
The "Sonata Concertante" is a substantial and engaging work, divided into four movements that traverse a range of emotions and moods. From the vigorous and energetic "Vigoroso" to the playful and whimsical "Scherzo," this sonata is a testament to Montsalvatge's compositional skill and his ability to create compelling and engaging musical narratives.
The album concludes with the brief but evocative "Microrapsòdia" and the reflective "Evocación," followed by the playful and inventive "Invenció a la Italiana." Throughout the album, Montsalvatge's works are performed with sensitivity and technical brilliance, offering a comprehensive overview of his contributions to the violin and cello repertoire with piano accompaniment. With a duration of one hour and seven minutes, this album is a rewarding and enriching experience for any classical music enthusiast.
