Immerse yourself in the captivating world of wind instrument concertos with Ludmila Peterková's "Scaramouche and Other Concertos for Wind Instruments." Released on December 20, 1997, under the SUPRAPHON label, this album is a testament to Peterková's virtuosity and the rich diversity of chamber music.
The album opens with Darius Milhaud's "Scaramouche, Op. 165," a lively and dynamic piece that showcases Peterková's technical prowess. The three-movement work, performed with an orchestra, is a delightful blend of French charm and Brazilian rhythm, culminating in a spirited samba.
Following this is Eugène Bozza's "Villanelle," a beautifully arranged piece for horn and orchestra that highlights Peterková's expressive range. The album then transitions into the classical elegance of Carl Maria von Weber's "Concertino in B-Flat Major, Op. 48," a work that demonstrates Peterková's ability to convey both grace and power.
The centerpiece of the album is Richard Strauss's "Concerto for French Horn and String Orchestra, Op. 65." This three-movement concerto is a tour de force, with Peterková navigating the piece's technical challenges with aplomb. The final movement, a lively rondo, is particularly noteworthy for its infectious energy and rhythmic complexity.
The album concludes with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Clarinet Concerto," a beloved work that showcases Peterková's lyrical sensitivity and tonal beauty. Throughout the album, Peterková's playing is characterized by a deep musicality and a keen sense of phrasing, making this a truly memorable listening experience.
