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.

Newly-discovered overture by Ramon Carnicer

Ramon Carnicer composed two overtures for performances of Rossini’s The Barber of Seville in Barcelona. Until now only the first of these pieces, published by Tritó, was known. Recently, however, the musicologist Josep Dolcet discovered the second overture, heretofore unpublished, which will be performed this Saturday 26 November in Tàrrega by the Orquestra Julià Carbonell de les Terres de Lleida, with Alfons Reverté conducting.

The concert forms part of the events to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Carnicer’s death. The music for Carnicer’s second overture for Rossini’s opera will soon be published by Tritó.

Last quarter news from Tritó

At Tritó, we have returned from the summer holidays anxious to embark on new projects: projects that are aimed at further enriching our catalogue with new and interesting scores. In addition to the previously unpublished Tres Impromptus by Montsalvatge, we should also mention the arrangement of Ramon Carnicer’s Overture to the Barber of Seville by an anonymous contemporary of the composer, 6 diferències per a un tema mallorquí by David Padrós and 7 epigrames per a piano by Benet Casablancas.

Three unpublished piano scores by Xavier Montsalvatge found

These Tres Impromptus for solo piano, previously unpublished, and for which Montsalvatge won a prize in a music competition organized by the Concepció Rabell i Civils Foundation in 1933, have only recently been found in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

CD In honour of Ernest Lluch

Posted by Marcel Soleda on November 19, 2004  |  Leave a comment

Tritó has come to an agreement with the Ernest Lluch Foundation to release a CD in honour of Mr Lluch, an intellectual, music-lover and leading figure in our culture who died tragically four years ago. The recording will include a symphony by Ferran Sor, one of Lluch’s favourite composers, plus six orchestral works by other Catalan composers from the 18th-century, a period for which he had a special passion. The composers are Carles Baguer, Domènec Terradellas, Josep Duran and the brothers Joan, Josep and Manuel Pla, and all the works have been recorded for the first time. The CD will come out before Christmas.

The Cadaqués Orchestra will be going on tour in January 2004. Under the baton of Sir Neville Marriner, the Orchestra will perform in several Spanish cities, including Zaragoza and Pamplona.

The featured soloist on this occasion will be the soprano Ainhoa Arteta, in addition to the Orchestra’s habitual soloists. The tour comprises two programmes, centring on the works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
