Customer Review of Krzysztof Penderecki: Concerto for Violin & Orchestra No. 2 "Metamorphosen" (1992-95) / Béla Bartók: Sonata for Violin & Piano No. 2, Sz 76 (1922) - Anne-Sophie Mutter / London Symphony Orchestra / Krzysztof Penderecki / Lambert Orkis
total brilliance
Though I somehow always think of Penderecki as a composer of vocal works, here his voice is the violin, in one of the most astounding pieces for the instrument I have ever heard. It has mystery, drama, and intense beauty, and rather than six separate movements, it stretches from mood to mood, segueing into them. My favorite is the transition from the fifth to the sixth, with the orchestra sounding more like the rumblings of nature than instruments.
The concerto was dedicated to Anne-Sophie Mutter, who was the soloist in the enthusiastically received first performance in 1995. The extreme difficulty of the concerto must be daunting for a violinist, but Mutter's technical mastery equals her sensitivity and artistry. Of special note is the 5th movement cadenza, which is enthralling.
Like most Penderecki works, this is a composition that gets better with every hearing; one has to get to know this piece, for it to reveal the full magnificence of its soul.

The Bartok Sonata # 2 takes us into far different territory: Angular, harsh and energized, it's a whirl of virtuoso technique and dynamic sound. Lambert Orkis on piano counterbalances Mutter's violin, producing varied tones and rhythms.
Anne-Sophie Mutter has been an award-winning soloist with major world orchestras since her teens, making her Berlin debut with Karajan and the Philharmonic when she was only 15, and her wide range of repertoire is impressive. Penderecki writes of her in the liner notes, that he was inspired by her "...sublime art of interpretation". The Penderecki was recorded in 1997, the Bartok in '95. The sound is excellent and total playing time is 58'01

WOW - A Revelation
I was familiar with some of Penderecki's earlier works of which were much more atonal than the later - he made a change in the 1970's. I quote from a reviewer (Nicholas Reyland) who describes Penderecki's later music as "The music firmly posits itself in a tradition stretching from Brahms through Bruckner, Mahler, Wagner and Sibelius to Shostakovich, and now to Penderecki."

I am blown away by this composition and performance. I am still digesting the performance, but it is colorful, tragic, meaningful, and so on. Penderecki uses clearly recognizable themes througout the composition that are interesting (for me) to follow. The performance by Mutter is intesley passionate, soulful and masterful. The composition has much color and drama.

I highly recommend this recording!

Metamorphosen
Well, what can you say about this recording other than it was fantastic. No doubt about it, this was a flawless recording. I have been listening to Penderecki's works no for some time, and this is one of the best. This isn't just because of his excellent writing for the solo violin, but the way he blends the violin with the orchestra. Unlike a lot of violin concertos, which sole purpose is to show off the skills of player, and secondly to make good music (so it seems), this recording is more like just a symphonic work with a featured violin solo, as a wind or brass instrument would have solos. In other words, the orchestra is not merely a background and support group, but instread is an entity in itself, that, at times, is the most important unit, with the violin accompanying. This a masterpiece of new music, which deserves more credit than it as gotten already. I highly recommend it, not only to violinists, but to those who appreciate great music.
