At the festival \u201cSummer in Stuttgart\u201d the composer Adriana H\u00f6lszky was feted with a splendid concert. The highpoint was the world premiere of her violin concerto \u201cApeiron\u201d: a dramatic dialogue between the orchestra and the soloist Martin Mumelter, who performed throughout at the human limits of virtuosity\u2026..Jubilation!<\/em><\/p>\n

Adriana H\u00f6lszky: \u201cApeiron,\u201d Concerto for violin and orchestra 2017\/2018; Live recording of the world premiere, Stuttgart 2018; Martin Mumelter, violin, Stuttgarter Kammerorchester: Bernhard Kontarsky, conductor<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This CD, published in 2025 on the label KAIROS, presents solo concertos by Adriana H\u00f6lszky, who is deemed one of the most significant composers of our time. That her violin concerto was dedicated to me I consider a great honour.<\/p>\n

Arnold Schoenberg: Violin Concerto. Radio Symphony Orchestra <\/strong> Vienna\/Caridis<\/strong> (ORF live, plus Violin Concerto by Erich Urbanner<\/b>, see below)<\/p>\n

This work is incredibly colorful. More in the booklet. You have to hear it, and often. It is hard to understand that it was once not only considered unplayable, but also indigestible.<\/p>\n

Bernd-Alois-Zimmermann: Violin Concerto.\u00a0 Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra\/E\u00f6tv\u00f6s<\/strong> (live)<\/p>\n

I’ve always been very interested in composers’ views of other people’s works. Thus, it was enriching to play the Zimmermann Concerto under the direction of Peter E\u00f6tv\u00f6s with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. I had already recorded two other violin concertos with this wonderful orchestra (Urbanner and Baird), but had not performed live with them. I had already played the Zimmermann Concerto, among others in Vienna, and got to know the acoustic and interpretational challenges for the conductors of the enormously manned orchestra.<\/p>\n

Richard D\u00fcnser: Violin Concerto. Wiener Symphoniker\/Runnicles<\/strong><\/p>\n

ORF- Recording of the world premiere, Bregenz Festival.<\/p>\n

Richard D\u00fcnser, today professor at the the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG), shared early on his affinity for German poetry, especially Romanticism, with me. Even then his ideas for a violin concerto circled around H\u00f6lderlin’s famous poem “Half of Life”.<\/p>\n

Charles Ives. The 4 Violin Sonatas and Largo for Violin and Piano. With Herbert Henck (Piano).<\/strong><\/p>\n

LP double album<\/p>\n

A happy coincidence made me stumble across an extensive newspaper interview with Henck<\/a> in the early 1980s. I greatly appreciated what he said about music, as well as what he said about Charles Ives, of whom I knew shamefully little at the time.<\/p>\n

Bela Bart\u00f3k: The 44 Duos for 2 Violins. With Peter Lefor<\/strong><\/p>\n

Great music, masterpieces in a confined space. At the same time educational pieces not only for pupils, but for everyone who is concerned with the connections between fine art music and folk music – including contemporary music.<\/p>\n

Musical Instruments of the Ferdinandeum: Works by Bach, Frescobaldi, Castello, Fontana, Corelli<\/strong><\/p>\n

It all started with a tantrum. At the beginning of the 1970s I had the opportunity to see some of the musical instruments of the Ferdinandeum Museum in Innsbruck, which were locked away in dusty storage rooms and stacked all over each other. A gloomy chaos. Historical keyboard instruments were dusting away, interesting violins, historical bows, rare wind instruments.<\/p>\n

Alfred Schnittke: 3rd Violin Concerto and Erich Urbanner, Violin Concerto. Innsbruck Chamber Orchestra\/Urbanner<\/strong><\/p>\n

This first radio production of the Urbanner Concerto appeared on an ORF CD\u2014which is unfortunately out of print\u2014together with a recording of Schnittke’s 3rd Violin Concerto, which is played by nearly the same line-up same as Urbanner: String Quartet (two string trios in Urbanner) and Brass Tutti.<\/p>\n

I had advocated intensely to bring the compilation of these pieces together on one CD, both of which were excellently conducted by Urbanner.<\/p>\n

Berg-Konzert: This is one of the works I have performed most often. There’s a nice dress rehearsal recording in my private archive that was taken when I was just turned 18. It is hard to imagine that the work was only 31 years old at the time. Well-intentioned colleagues seriously asked why I was wasting my talent on such terrible music. Because of this recording I was invited to Vienna to meet Alban Berg’s widow, Helene Berg, an impressive lady who told and showed me a lot about her Alban.<\/p>\n

Olivier Messiaen: Quatuor pour la fin du temps.<\/strong> With Alfons Kontarsky, Walter Nothas, Martin Schelling.<\/p>\n

I rehearsed this apocalyptic work with a coach for the first time as a founding member of the Austrian Ensemble for New Music, which still exists today. This coach was the composer Klaus Ager, recently back in Austria after his studies in Paris with Messiaen. A series of performances followed, often commented by Ager for the audience (and us).<\/p>\n

Charles Ives: Piano Trio and John Cage, Music for Three. With Werner B\u00e4rtschi and Wen-Sinn Yang<\/strong><\/p>\n

After recording the complete violin sonatas of Ives together with Herbert Henck, the trio fascinated me very much. Ives, with his vision of a “better America” and thus a better world, was the focus of my interest at the time and is now more topical than ever. Werner B\u00e4rtschi<\/a> had published the memos of Ives in German and had been recommended to me both as a pianist and composer by Henck.<\/p>\n

Simone Fontanelli: \u201eMartin\u201c Three Solo Pieces of the Violin<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Italian composer Simone Fontanelli, winner of the Mozart Competition Salzburg, wrote these three portrait solo pieces for me.<\/p>\n

Click here to LISTEN<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Link to SHOP<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The three pieces show that Fontanelli can do both: highly virtuosic and quite simple. Both with great eloquence. That’s why I encouraged him to write small pieces for children that would lead them into the magical world of New Music at an early age. Since Bart\u00f3k’s duos and those of Berio there has been little of this kind in sufficient quality. The result were his charming “Spots” for young violinists and later the successful children’s opera “Es war einmal ein St\u00fcck Holz” (Pinocchio).<\/p>\n<\/div>
