Ross Edwards, Jean Sibelius
Violin Concertos
- Adele Anthony Violin
Catalogue no. CC09
This recording of Concertos by Sibelius and Australian composer Ross Edwards is the first solo release on Canary Classics for Adele Anthony. She has acclaimed recordings of Philip Glass' Violin Concerto (Naxos) and with her husband Gil Shaham Part's Tabula Rasa (Deutsche Grammophon), and Sarasate (Canary Classics).
In 1983 at the age of 13, Adele was the youngest winner, and remains so to this day, of the Australian Broadcasting Corporations Instrumental and Vocal Competition performing the Sibelius Violin Concerto, and here offers a recording of a work she has lived with for over 25 years. She returns to her home city of Adelaide, Australia to make this recording with acclaimed Sibelian conductor Arvo Volmer. Adele brings a soulful femininity, richness, clarity and intensity of sound to her interpretation of the Sibelius concerto.
Of particular interest on this release is Ross Edwards' Violin Concerto, Maninyas. The original inspiration for Maninyas came from a Ballet commission from Houston Ballet created by Stanton Welch. This concerto contains a compelling hybrid of influences, the result deserving recognition as one of the great modern day violin concertos. The Maninyas Chorale (track 3 on the CD) is one of Ross' great compositional moments.
