VIOLA CONCERTO Op.37

Mikl''s R''zsas Viola Concerto op. 37 is the composers last orchestral work. It concludes a series of concertos in which R''zsa devoted one piece each to an instrument that he was particularly fond of (violoncello, piano, violin and the Sinfonia concertante for violin and violoncello) or to a specific performer. The Viola Concerto is dedicated to the then young soloist Pinchas Zukerman, who gave the first performance of the piece in May 1984 in Pittsburgh under the direction of AndrE Previn. A surprising touch is the concertos four-movement form. In the works dark instrumental colors, the composer underlines his great admiration for his acclaimed fellow Hungarian BEla Bart''k more intensely than ever before.
