The songful Violin Concerto was written in 1932 when he was at the height of his fame as a composer in Austro-Germany and musically falls very much within the central European tradition with hints of Bartok, Mahler and neo-Classical Strauss. The Concertino (with string orchestra) was written in London in 1939, but its lyrical ease belies the times and his precarious circumstances. German violinist, Annette-Barbara Vogel, who has already recorded G\u00e1l\u2019s chamber music for Avie gives committed performances of both pieces and revels in the honesty of this music. She brings a winning presence to her tone and delivery, and maintains a perceptively fluid relationship with the accompanying forces of the Northern Sinfonia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The symphonic-scale Triptych for orchestra dates from 1970, but is written in a style that seems unchanged from the time of Mahler and Korngold, whose music the pieces resemble at times. The Sage Gateshead recording is warm and supportive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">MATTHEW RYE<\/p>\n<div id=\"wp_fb_like_button\" style=\"margin:5px 0;float:none;height:100px;\"><script src=\"http:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js#xfbml=1\"><\/script><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/kennethwoods.net\/blog1\/2010\/07\/25\/cd-review-the-strad-on-gal-violin-concerti-and-triptych-for-orchestra\/\" send=\"false\" layout=\"box_count\" width=\"450\" show_faces=\"true\" font=\"arial\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\"><\/fb:like><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the August 2010 issue of The Strad G\u00e1l Violin Concerto op 39, Vioin Concertino op 52, Triptych op 100 Annette Barbara Vogel, violin Northern Sinfonia\/Kenneth Woods Here\u2019s a real treat: a pair of long-list violin concertos from that most fecund decade for the medium, the 1930\u2019s.
