Info zu Bottesini: Music for Violin, Double-Bass & String Orchestra
Bottesini ist natürlich vielen Musikern und Musikliebhabern bekannt, insbesondere Kontrabassisten, da der Komponist und Interpret im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert unbestritten als "Paganini des Kontrabasses" galt. Die vorliegende Aufnahme ist eine Sammlung von fünf bedeutenden Stücken mit einem virtuosen und konzertanten Kompositionsstil, in dem Violine und Kontrabass oft die Hauptrollen in dichten, überraschenden Dialogen übernehmen. Sie gibt den Liebhabern der Musik des 19. Jahrhunderts die Gelegenheit, den technischen und kreativen Reichtum eines für seine Zeit außerordentlich künstlerisch mutigen Komponisten zu erleben und Musiker zu würdigen, die aus verschiedenen Gründen von der vorherrschenden musikalischen Hierarchie unterbewertet wurden.
Bottesinis kreativer Wagemut zeigt sich darin, dass er es wagte, den Kontrabass als virtuoses Soloinstrument auf eine Stufe mit seinen edlen Vettern, der Violine, der Viola und dem Cello, zu stellen. Viele seiner Stücke enthalten Solopartien, die Dialoge zwischen den extremen Registern der Streichinstrumente zeigen, von der "dämonischen" Violine mit ihren hohen Tönen an der Grenze der Wahrnehmung bis hin zu den Abgründen der tiefen Töne des Kontrabasses. Niemand vor Bottesini hatte das ungenutzte Ausdruckspotenzial des Kontrabasses entdeckt, da er immer nur als Verstärkung für die eine Oktave tiefer liegende Cellostimme angesehen worden war. Stattdessen wollte er den Kontrabass "aufsteigen" lassen.
Das Andante für Streicher stellt den Kontrabass als eine tiefe Seele vor, die oft im Einklang mit den Orchesterstreichern steht. Das Stück ist von einer schmerzhaften Intimität durchdrungen und mit einer wiegenden, wogenden rhythmischen Bewegung verfeinert. In seiner Fantasia über Bellinis La Sonnambula" wird der stets kantable Kontrabass von Anfang an als Stimme eingesetzt, und man kann sich leicht vorstellen, wie erstaunt das Publikum gewesen sein muss, als es den wohlklingenden Klang dieses Instruments aus der hinteren Reihe" hörte, das Bellinis lyrische Oper ergreifend neu interpretiert. Im Gran duo concertante für Violine, Kontrabass und Orchester vereint Bottesini lyrische Sensibilität und Ausdruckskraft. Hier vermittelt die Violine die größtmöglichen Spannungen, wobei sie häufig die Führung übernimmt und dann einem Kontrabass Platz macht, der mit celloähnlicher Poesie auftritt. Das Streichquintett in F, von Massimo Belli zu einem Orchesterstück umgestaltet, mit dem Rückgrat einer großen Sinfonie, eingebettet in einen romantischen Rahmen voller Energie und Dramatik. Die Piccola preghiera (wie von Bottesini beabsichtigt) offenbart eine ganz ähnliche Sensibilität wie das Andante, mit dem dieses Album beginnt. Der Stil ist hier sogar noch nüchterner, mit Streichern, die sich in einer allumfassenden Klangwelt überlagern, die reich an harmonischen Verläufen und friedlichen Auflösungen ist.
