***************************************************************************************************
Wie manche andere französische Komponisten, fühlte sich auch Edouard Lalo stark von der Kultur und der Musik Spaniens angezogen. Sein bei weitem bekanntestes Werk, die „Symphonie espagnole“ für Violine und Orchester, gibt klingendes Zeugnis davon, und viele halten es denn auch für seine vollendetste Komposition überhaupt. Die Kombination von Klangbildern, sein melodischer Einfallsreichtum und die mitreissenden spanischen Rhythmen haben sie zu einem Hit für die Liebhaber klassischer Musik gemacht, und auch zahlreiche berühmte Violinisten sind in den Bann seiner brillianten Partitur für ihr Instrument geraten. Ursprünglich für den grossen belgischen Geiger Eugène Ysayé geschrieben, haben auch erstaunlich viele russische Violinvirtuosen die „Symphonie espagnole“ in ihr Repertoire aufgenommen. So auch der grosse russische Violinist Leonid Kogan, der im Westen zwei Aufnahmen des Werks eingespielt hat. In seiner zweiten Version - eine Stereo-Wiedereinspielung in EMIs Abbey Road Studios in London vom Februar 1959 - interpretiert Kogan die seltener gespielte, überarbeitete fünfsätzige Version der „Symphonie“, die ein „Intermezzo“ enthält. Sein Spiel ist aussergewöhnlich fein, von einer stupenden technischen Virtuosität und einer klanglichen Reinheit, und während er die heitere, lustvolle Seite des Werks voll zum Klingen bringt, gewinnt er ihm zugleich auch seine tiefere, ergreifendere und untergründigere Seite ab und erhebt es weit über seinen Hit-Status. Die einfühlsame und lebhafte Leitung des damaligen Philharmonie Orchesters von Kyril Kondrashin ist ein Genuss für sich, und Tschaikowskis besinnliche „Sérénade mélancolique“ - ebenfalls auf dieser Platte - setzt einen wirkungsvoll kontrastierenden Kontrapunkt.

Tchaikovsky/ Serenade Melancolique/ Philharmonic Orchestra/ Kondrashin
The EMI recording dates from 1960 but is of very good quality, brilliant but with plenty of body and a realistic portrayal of the soloist. Kogan's assurance and sensibility throughout are impressive, and the finale has a fine sparkle. But the music's Spanish quality - the French composer's vivid response to local color and atmosphere - eludes the performers here.

Tchaikovsky - Sérénade Mélancolique, Op. 26
Having tackled Kogan's other masterful performances we complete the cycle of UK Columbia Stereo releases with this stunning interpretation of Lalo's Symphony Espagnole.
Like many other French composers, also Edouard Lalo felt strongly attracted by the culture and the music of Spain. His most famous work, the "Symphonie espagnole" for violin and orchestra, is a testimony to this, and many consider it to be his most compelling composition at all. The combination of sound images, melodic imagination and the thrilling Spanish rhythms have made them a hit for lovers of classical music, and many famous violinists have also been captivated by their brilliant score for their instrument. Originally written for the great Belgian violinist Eugène Ysayé, surprisingly many Russian violin virtuosos have included the "Symphonie espagnole" in their repertoire. Including the great Russian violinist Leonid Kogan, who recorded two recordings of the work in the West.
In his second version, a stereo re-recording at EMI's Abbey Road Studios in London in February 1959, Kogan interprets the rare, revised five-movement version of the "Symphony", which contains an "intermezzo". His play is extraordinarily fine, with a stupendous technical virtuosity and a sonorous purity, and while he makes the cheerful, joyous side of the work fully sound, he also gains his deeper, more penetrating and subterranean side and elevates it far above his Hit status. The sensitive and lively direction of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Kyril Kondrashin at the time is a delight for himself, and Tchaikovsky's contemplative "Sérénade mélancolique" - also on this record - sets an effective contrasting counterpoint.
