Description

[Machine Translation] One of the most important projects of Weinberg's later years (1919-1996) was "Reflections on World War II. This resulted in three symphonies: Symphony No. 17, "Memory," Symphony No. 18, and Symphony No. 19, "Bright May. The 18th is also, as the title suggests, colored by anti-war sentiment. It is a kind of oratorio with voices, with texts derived from poems and folk songs by the Soviet poets Sergei Orlov and Alexander Twardovsky. Each poem is filled with intense sadness and anger, and poses great problems for all. As usual, however, Weinberg does not coldly dismiss his listeners here, and perhaps the redeeming quality is that the music is somehow hopeful. The trumpet concerto was written much earlier, and its first performance was given on January 6, 1968 by the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Kirill Kondrashin with the virtuoso conductor Timofey Dokhsichel. It is an interesting work with cynical and grotesque passages scattered throughout, strongly influenced by Shostakovich, who was a great admirer of Weinberg at the time, and is highly recommended as an introduction to Weinberg.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

ヴァインベルク: 交響曲 第18番&トランペット協奏曲 / アンドリュー・バリオ(トランペット)/ウラディーミル・ランデ(指揮)/サンクトペテルブルク交響楽団/サンクトペテルブルク室内合唱団

ヴァインベルク(1919-1996)の晩年の最も重要なプロジェクトの中に「第二次世界大戦を振り返る」というものがあります。これで生まれたのがは、交響曲第17番「記憶」と、この第18番、そして第19番「輝かしき五月」という3つの交響曲です。この第18番も、タイトル通りの反戦意識に彩られたもので、ソ連の詩人、セルゲイ・オルロフとアレクサンドル・トアルドフスキーの詩、そして民謡に由来するテキストが用いられた、声楽付きの一種のオラトリオとなっています。各々の詩は強い悲しみと怒りを孕み、全ての人に大いなる問題を突きつけます。ただ、いつものように、ここでも決してヴァインベルクは聴き手を冷たく突き放すことはなく、どこか希望が持てる音楽となっているところに救いがあるのかもしれません。トランペット協奏曲はもっと早い時期に書かれたもので、初演は名手ティモフェイ・ドクシチェルと、キリル・コンドラシンが指揮するモスクワ・フィルによって1968年1月6日に行われました。この当時心酔していたショスタコーヴィチの影響が強く感じられる冷笑やグロテスクなパッセージが至るところに散りばめられた興味深い作品で、ヴァインベルク入門としても、オススメできる逸品です。
