Product Description
CD Description
Born only two years earlier than Webern and successful as a conductor in Berlin, Ignatz Waghalter built on the tradition of Schumann and Brahms rather than seeking revolutionary innovation. The inspiring melodic and rhythmic invention of his 1911 Violin Concerto led a contemporary reviewer to recommend that violinists should take it up without hesitation!, while the earlier Violin Sonata won the coveted Mendelssohn Prize in 1902. A milestone in violinist Irmina Trynkos Waghalter Project (www.waghalterproject.com), this release brings to light one of the most unjustly forgotten musicians of interwar Europe.

This is a fine recording of previously unheard violin works. A concerto comparable to any of the works in the standard repertoire and a fine sonata. The shorter pieces stand-up to scrutiny and Idyll in particular should become a favourite of listeners everywhere. These are outstanding melodies delivered with a warmth and sincerity worthy of the music.
The violin playing is excellent and highly accomplished. This marks a fine debut and we can expect even greater things to come from an exciting violinist. Bravo to all !

Thank you for reviving Waghalter's most beautiful music.
The violin playing is stunning, accompanied sensitively and expertly by the RPO under the baton of Alexander Walker. Walker masterfully brings out the different colours in the orchestration and achieves a perfect balance with the soloist. His tempi allow this passionate music to breathe and to transport the listener into another world.
The pieces for violin and piano are absolutely wonderful, played with great skill and sensitively by Irmina Trynkos and Giorgi Latsabidze.
This CD should be in everyone's collection, and it is my great hope that we will see a lot more of Waghalter's music, Alexander Walker's conducting and Irmina Trynkos' violin playing in the future.

I heard a clip from the Violin Concerto on Radio 4 and listened to what Waghalter's grandson had to say about his grandfather. His grandson had in fact discovered much of his grandfather's work in a trunk in the attic where he used to live. Fortunately these treasures were discovered by him and not heaped on a bonfire. This music will almost certainly find its way into the Promenade Concerts in the near future and it is a welcome addition to any virtuoso violinists repertoire.
It remains a complete mystery why Waghalter's just disappeared without trace until recently. It seems strange that Yehudi Menuhin did not play these pieces, but Irmina Trynkos plays all the pieces with sensitivity, skill and excellence making this a most enjoyable addition to any classical music collection. The music is easy to listen to if you like the great violin concertos of Bruch, Brahms and Mendelssohn.
Read the other five star reviews, they are all excellent appraisals of this fine CD. I hope Naxos will commission the recording of more of Waghalter's work, which according to their notes includes four operas! If this is what he does with the violin, we can only imagine what he will do with the human voice.

Waghalter-Violin Concerto
This was an unknown composer for me until I heard a piece about him on the radio. I very much enjoy this composition and performance.

Amazing music
Not what I would usually buy or listen to, but it's superb. I'm not a musician and can't say anything intelligent about it - just but it and enjoy it!

Get this from Naxos Direct - cheaper - and they pay their taxes
I had to buy this after hearing the story of finding the composer's music scores in an attic trunk on radio 4 and listening to a beautiful romantic violin piece. Read more
