Shostakovitch’s Viola Sonata was written just before his
death, inspiring Khachaturian to write his Solo
Sonata just months later. Bacewicz’ last published
work was a viola concerto, and Martinu returned to
the viola near the end of his life. The
music on this CD are profound works, possibly among
the most moving pieces ever written by these composers.
Paul Cortese
has been principal viola with the Gothenburg Symphony, Neeme
Jarvi, conductor. He has been guest principal in over a dozen
European orchestras and is featured chamber player in numerous worldwide
festivals. This is his third CD on Crystal Records. The American Record Guide
said his “performances are elegant. The technique of Cortese
is superb.”
