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.

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 In addition to the previously unpublished Tres Impromptus by Montsalvatge, we should also mention the arrangement of Ramon Carnicer’s Overture to the Barber of Seville by an anonymous contemporary of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.

These Tres Impromptus for solo piano, previously unpublished, and for which Montsalvatge won a prize in a music competition organized by the Concepció Rabell i Civils Foundation in 1933, have only recently been found in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