\n\u201cInto Madness\u201d: Newcomer Tassilo Probst, joined by duo partner Maxim Lando, is releasing his first album. The young violinist is tackling truly virtuosic repertoire, presenting three sonatas for violin and piano by B\u00e9la Bart\u00f3k, George Enescu and Joseph Achron \u2013 the last of these being a world premiere recording. The double album will be released on August 19 by Berlin Classics in collaboration with Bayrischer Rundfunk.
\n\u201cI love all kinds of music, including Beethoven and Brahms sonatas of course. But for my first recording, I wanted to play unknown sonatas and lay down a real \u2018statement\u2019 in the process!\u201d explains Probst in an interview with Malte Hemmerich. The young musician has already made a name for himself on the classical scene. \u201cTassilo is an exceptional violinist and musician, with a strong will, unique sound and impressive mastery of the instrument,\u201d reports Daniel Hope, who has played host to both Tassilo Probst and Maxim Lando a number of times. <\/p>\n
The first work to be heard is Bart\u00f3k\u2019s Sonata for Violin and Piano in E minor. It is one of the composer\u2019s early works, standing out for its lyrically Romantic harmonies and melodies and so revealing sounds that are somewhat untypical of its composer and strike entirely new tones.
\nProbst feels as much at home with virtuoso material as with the lyrical repertoire and provides convincing proof of these abilities on \u201cInto Madness\u201d. \u201cIn the virtuoso passages, if you like, you can just let it rip, which is a whole lot of fun. People have often told me,\u201d he admits, \u201cthat I\u2019m sometimes quite a show-off.\u201d
\nThe Romanian folk atmosphere of Enescu\u2019s Sonata for Violin and Piano in A minor caught the violinist\u2019s fancy as soon as he discovered it on his search for a work for the Enescu competition in which, as the youngest finalist, he won a third place. The interplay between piano and violin was particularly demanding both technically and in its rhythms. The two musicians like making music together and in any case they are good friends. The American pianist Maxim Lando, another very young artist, regularly appears on stage with colleagues like Lang Lang, Daniel Hope or Chick Corea. \u201cThere are no limits to the passion, pain, drama, nature, silence, longing, rage and humour that are evoked by this music. In a word: Madness,\u201d comments Lando on their choice of album title.<\/p>\n
Enescu\u2019s work was the starting point that led to the never-before-recorded sonata by the Lithuanian-American composer. \u201cThis sonata is fantastic musically, but also complete lunacy in places. It\u2019s actually when you\u2019re young and wild that you can make brilliant sense of that sort of thing and just yield to the craziness. This is a sonata where you can see that the CD title \u2018Into Madness\u2019 really fits. So: a crazy piece. And I\u2019m a crazy guy and I know Maxim is at least as crazy as I am.\u201d In answer to Hemmerich\u2019s question of whether he is really capable of laying down a benchmark in a premiere recording at such a young age, Probst confesses: \u201cI know it\u2019s a big responsibility when you\u2019re the first to record a great sonata that hopefully will later be recorded and performed more often. But that\u2019s the thill of it for me. You feel as if you\u2019re digging for gold! And this sonata is like your gold nugget.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
