Mozart Year at Tritó

Posted by Marcel Soleda on January 3, 2006  |  Leave a comment

As many of you will already be aware, this year, 2006, marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. At Tritó we have always taken an active interest in Mozart’s music, especially in the area of recordings. Our catalogue currently includes three CDs directed by one of the great Mozart specialists of recent decades, the English conductor Sir Neville Marriner, and a repertoire which covers a good part of the great composer’s concertante music.

Our latest Mozart CD is the flautist Jaime Martín’s recordings of the flute concertos and the concerto for flute and harp (with Bryn Lewis on the harp), released in late 2005; the other two are a CD of the two symphonies concertantes (for wind instrument and for violin and viola) and a two-disk set of four of the concertos for wind instruments (flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon).

The soloists on both recordings are members of the Cadaqués Orchestra. Finally, we ought to mention that we also have the score for Mozart’s 15th Symphony in the revised version by Neville Marriner.

Publishing agreement with Santiago Lanchares

Although Santiago Lanchares started composing relatively late in life, at the age of 32, he has since become one of the leading names in contemporary Spanish music. After starting out in composition with chamber and orchestral works, in the nineties he shifted his focus to music for the piano. It is this latter music that Tritó will be publishing under the agreement.

Lanchares has recently received commissions from several artistic institutions in Spain, Europe, Asia and Oceania.

These Tres Impromptus for solo piano, previously unpublished, and for which Montsalvatge won a prize in a music competition organized by the Concepció Rabell i Civils Foundation in 1933, have only recently been found in the library of the Orfeó Català.

At the time Xavier Montsalvatge was in his early twenties and his prize money amounted to five hundred pesetas.These scores, which Tritó will soon publish, expand our catalogue of piano works by Montsalvatge, which already includes outstanding titles such as Bressoleig, Quatre diàlegs amb el piano, Alborada en Aurinx and Concerto del Albaicín.
