„Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik“ for a new recording of Wolf-Ferraris Violin Concerto<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new recording of Ermanno Wolff-Ferrari\u2019s Violin Concerto with the Austrian star violinist Benjamin Schmid and the Oviedo Filarmon\u00eda under Friedrich Haider, issued by FARAO CLASSICS in Munich, was awarded the Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik (German Record Critics\u2019 Award) (Quarterly list 1\/2013). The jury\u2019s official statement read: \u201cThis recording is a fervent plea for the highly romanic, but still scantly regarded Violin Concerto by Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari; at the same time an exceptionally well documented edition and a homage to Guila Bustabo, the great American violinist and dedicatee of the concerto. For the performers and producers it was clearly a matter close to their hearts.\u201d (For the jury: Norbert Hornig).<\/p>\n

This splendidly presented CD set includes a DVD documentary, for which Friedrich Haider researched the story, shrouded in mystery, and background to the writing of the work which was composed in the middle of the second world war. (\u201cDeclaration of love to a violinist\u201d). A 100 page booklet presents mostly unpublished photographs and facsimiles of the score (German\/English).<\/p>\n
