Search - Anthony Marwood, Thomas Ades :: Stravinsky: Complete Music for Violin & Piano

Stravinsky's collaboration with the violinist Samuel Dushkin was a great artistic success, generating new works for the repertoire as well as arrangements of some of the composer's most tuneful and popular works. Of these arrangements, Dushkin wrote that Stravinsky seemed, 'to go back to the essence of the music and rewrite or recreate the music in the spirit of the new instrument.' Indeed, these are not ordinary transcriptions. As he reduced his orchestral works to their bare essence, Stravinsky rethought every note and chord. In the performing partnership of Anthony Marwood and Thomas Ades, Hyperion has a combination that seems to reignite the original flames of inspiration, creation and re-creation.
