DAVID NADIEN Plays Franck, Debussy, Rachmaninoff-Heifetz, Prokofieff
Cembal d’amour 2010
David Nadien, violin, was born in 1926, and in 1946 was chosen by Arturo Toscanini as the winner of the coveted Leventritt Award. He appeared under conductors such as George Szell, Leonard Bernstein and Dmitri Mitropoulos. and Lorin Maazel. The opening mvmt of Franck’s Sonata for Piano and Violin is harmonious and reflective. The piece develops via a gradual rising and falling of tension using what Franck called “cyclic” development: all the mvmts share thematic threads. The second mvmt is turbulent but subsides to calm, and the third lyrical. The fourth mvmt is fervent. Debussy’s Sonata is the last work he completed before his death in 1918. The first mvmt is melodic, moving through several keys, the second more improvisatory with a wonderful chromatic melody and in the third the violin alternately swoops and soars to a rousing conclusion. Fauré’s Berceuse is a lovely cradle song. Rachmaninoff’s Daisies manifests his usual opulence. Prokofiev’s Sonata exhibits his usual acerbic tonality, mildly edgy but not unpleasant. First mvmt is eery, melancholy. Second mvmt, minor malefactors dancing. Third mvmt, princess alone in her tower, wistful. Fourth mvmt, full-bore country dance.
