Bartók?s Second Violin Concerto combines a potent
mixture of traditional concerto writing,
compositional history and biographical upheavals.
It was one of the last works he wrote before
emigrating to the USA, and its classical
three-movement form unites a mature feeling for
form, sparkling musicality and exceptional
violinistic sophistication.
Bartók employs the inexhaustible sources of tonal
writing with superb mastery to produce his own
distinctive tonal language. In his dissonantly
sharpened, expressive, even audacious music one
can recognise peasant dance, cantilena, variation
movement, rondo form, and twelve-tone themes,
which however remain tonal.
During his career spanning 60 years Isaac Stern
recorded this major contemporary work several
times and demonstrates once again his superb
mastery of his instrument in this particular
recording. With bravura he conjures up eruptive
snatches of melody out of the rhapsodic depths,
allows the slow movement to glow with pastoral
sentiment, and tears through the vast variations
finale with a perfect command of the score, his
instrument and his creative prowess.
