The brilliant Italian-German-American violinist Augustin Hadelich had been searching for years for a musical environment in which to bring Benjamin Britten's Violin Concerto to a wider audience. Composed in 1940 during the young British composer's exile in the United States during World War II, it is dedicated to the victims of the terrible Spanish War. This serious work reflects the pacifist and anti-militaristic ideas that Britten would hold throughout his life.
The outbreak of the recent war in Ukraine was the starting point for Augustin Hadelich to imagine the program of his album Recuerdos ("Memories") by surrounding Britten's work with musical visions inspired by Spain, from Pablo de Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy after Georges Bizet's opera to Francisco Tárrega's Recuerdos de la Alhambra, and Sergei Prokofiev (born in the Ukraine) who pays homage to Spain in the Finale of his Violin Concerto No. 2, premiered in Madrid in 1935 by its dedicatee, the French violinist Robert Soëtens
Himself cruelly injured by a terrible fire that kept him away from his instrument for more than a year, Augustin Hadelich wishes to bear witness through this recording to the suffering that surrounds us all in this world. Named "Instrumentalist of the Year" by Musical America magazine in 2018, this violinist is known for his vast repertoire encompassing the great classical works as well as contemporary works of which he is a passionate spokesperson. © François Hudry/Qobuz
