同郷の作曲家と指揮者による
協奏曲作品集!

デルヤナ・ラザロワ(2020-23年、ハレ副指揮者)と作曲家ドブリンカ・タバコヴァ(2022-23年、ハレ・アーティスト・イン・レジデンス)は、同じブルガリアのプロブディフで生まれました。このアルバムはその二人が同じオーケストラに在籍して行った初めての仕事となりますが、同郷ということもあり、タバコヴァの音楽言語をラザロワが見事に解釈しています。協奏曲の他にタバコヴァにとって重要な作品のひとつである組曲《地球》も収録されており、英BBCミュージック・マガジン誌において「レコーディング・オヴ・ザ・マンス」に選ばれています。

The music of Dobrinka Tabakova is an increasingly familiar presence on British concert programs (not so much stateside, although this release could change that). This 2023 release, which made classical best-seller charts in the fall of that year, offers an ideal introduction to her music. Except for the opening Orpheus Comet, commissioned by the European Broadcasting Union and incorporating the groups Monteverdi theme, all of the pieces are multi-movement works. There are two concertos, both notable for their variety of moods; Tabakovas music is tonal and fully accessible, but it still gives one the feeling of hearing something totally new with its energetic blocks of sound. The Concerto for viola and strings was commissioned by Maxim Rysanov and is a true challenge for the soloist without ever being splashy. Violists, with their sparse solo repertory, should rejoice in this work. The longest work is an Earth Suite that was assembled from three earlier compositions; it is not completely coherent but sample the first movement, "Tectonic"; it is an entrancing portrait of a deep terrestrial force. Tabakova and conductor Delayana Lazarova, leading the Halle Orchestra, are both natives of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, and one couldnt ask for a better illustration of how Eastern Europeans have enriched Western concert life. A thoroughly enjoyable release. ~ James Manheim
