about

Now regarded as one of the greatest violin concertos of the nineteenth century, Beethoven’s Concerto in D major did not enjoy the success it deserved during the composer’s lifetime. It was not until almost forty years later, with the rediscovery of the work by Felix Mendelssohn and the exceptional virtuoso Joseph Joachim, that it was finally recognised as a masterpiece.
An admirer of Beethoven, Franz Liszt, who made many fine transcriptions of other composers’ music during his career, orchestrated the Andante cantabile from the “Archduke” Trio, which he incorporated into a Cantata for the inauguration of the Beethoven Monument in Bonn. In recording these superb pieces, the Orchester Wiener Akademie and Martin Haselböck continue their “Resound” adventure in the company of violinist Benjamin Schmid.

Aujourd’hui considéré comme l’un des plus grands concertos pour violon du XIXe siècle, le Concerto en ré majeur de Beethoven n’a pas rencontré le succès qu’il aurait mérité du vivant du compositeur. Il fallut attendre presque quarante ans et la redécouverte de l’œuvre par Félix Mendelssohn et Joseph Joachim, exceptionnel virtuose, pour qu’il soit enfin reconnu comme un chef-d’œuvre.
Admirateur de Beethoven, Franz Liszt orchestra l’Andante cantabile du Trio à l’Archiduc, qu’il intégra dans une cantate destinée à l’inauguration du monument Beethoven à Bonn, démontrant par là ses immenses talents d’orchestrateur. En gravant ces superbes pièces, l’Orchestre Wiener Akademie et Martin Haselböck poursuivent leur aventure ‘RESOUND’ en compagnie du violoniste Benjamin Schmid.
