Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.In his autobiography, Igor Stravinsky wrote of his not having had any x91great likingx92 for the combination of strings and piano. That there nevertheless are a number of chamber works by him featuring the violin is to a large extent due to the violinist Samuel Dushkin. The two were introduced to each other by Stravinskyx92s German music publisher who wanted to persuade him to compose a violin concerto. They obviously hit it off: their collaboration continued after the concerto had come into being in 1931, and they devised a recital programme to perform together on tours. The centrepiece was Duo concertant which Stravinsky completed in 1932 as his only original composition for violin and piano. Rather than looking for common ground between the two instruments, Stravinsky aimed to emphasize their individuality in a work that he himself claimed was x91determined by my love of the pastoral poets of antiquity and their scholarly art and techniquex92. The other pieces on this disc are, with one exception, arrangements of Stravinskyx92s own works including The Firebird, Petrushka and Le rossignol. The majority were made for x96 and in collaboration with x96 Dushkin, but a few come from the 1920s and were intended for the violinist Paul Kochanski. One of these is the Suite for violin and piano, arranged from the ballet Pulcinella x96 material that Stravinsky revisited in the 1930s in order to make a new version for Dushkin. (The resulting Suite italienne will appear on the second and last volume of Stravinskyx92s music for violin, together with the violin concerto and other works.) With this programme, and in the company of the eminent Russian pianist Peter Laul, the highly virtuosic and temperamental violinist Ilya Gringolts makes his return to BIS, the label for which he made his dxe9but recording in 1999.
