Henryk Wieniawski: Scherzo Tarantelle, Op. 16 by Delos Productions published on 2015-11-18T14:57:40Z Music: Scherzo Tarantelle, Op. 16 Composer: Henryk Wieniawski Artists: Piet Koornhof, violin; Bernarda Vorster, piano; Album: On Fire: The Virtuoso Violin Label: Delos Productions - DE3479 Street Date: February 12, 2016 “...the elegance and immaculate suaveness of a Heifetz or Oistrakh” — Natal Daily News Distinguished South African violinist Piet Koornhof’s third recording for Delos highlights (in keeping with the title) virtuoso showpieces for his instrument, both well-known and rare. In this 2-CD set, Piet tackles some of the most brilliant and technically challenging repertoire for violin ever written. We hear glittering masterpieces by fabled masters of the instrument: Henryk Wienawski, Fritz Kreisler, and Eugene Ÿsaye. On the more rarely performed side, we get highly worthwhile violin treasures by, among others, Glazunov, Kroll, Taneyev, Rota, and Karayev – as well as a particularly fascinating cycle by Eduard Toldrà. Piet’s jaw-dropping virtuosity and ery interpretations are sensitively supported by his compatriot, pianist Bernarda Vorster. Together they have crafted a beautifully performed program that will appeal in particular to violinists and fans of the instrument, as well as an awe- inspiring listening experience for the rest of us.
