Edward Elgar: "Nimrod" from "Enigma Variations" / Sir Simon Rattle, conductor · Berliner Philharmoniker / Recorded at the Berlin Philharmonie, 16 Februar 2012

Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations, one of the most beloved symphonic compositions ever to emerge from the British Isles, brought the composer international recognition when it was premiered in 1900. The piece consists of fourteen variations, each of which sketches a musical picture of the composer's friends, acquaintances, his wife, and, finally, himself. The music ranges from the playfully humorous to the deeply passionate. The theme on which all the variations are based is never actually presented in the piece – an enigma worthy of the name.

This concert features the season's second appearance by artist-in-residence Leila Josefowicz. This time she brings us Helen Grime's bracingly fresh Violin Concerto, composed in 2016. Grime is one of Britain's most successful young composers. Her works have been lauded for their spellbinding spirit and unique creativity. "I am particularly excited to premiere Helen Grime's Violin Concerto in Iceland," says Leila Josefowicz. "The piece bubbles with a visceral energy as well as with something mystical and heavenly. There are few new compositions that are as enjoyable to perform for people." The first piece on the concert is Ballade in A minor by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, a contemporary of Elgar's. It is an energetic and lively piece, full of vivid emotions despite being small in scale.

Enigma-tilbrigði Edwards Elgars eru eitt ástsælasta sinfóníska stórvirki Breta fyrr og síðar og færðu þau tónskáldinu heimsfrægð þegar þau voru frumflutt árið 1900. Verkið samanstendur af 14 tilbrigðum sem bregða hvert um sig upp lifandi svipmyndum af vinum tónskáldsins og kunningjum, konu hans og loks honum sjálfum. Tónlistin spannar allt frá góðlátlegri glettni til djúpra ástríðna en stefið sem öll tilbrigðin kallast á við heyrist hins vegar aldrei í verkinu sjálfu og er það hin eiginlega ráðgáta sem titillinn vísar til.

Á þessum tónleikum kemur fram fiðluvirtúósinn og staðarlistamaðurinn Leila Josefowicz í annað sinn á starfsárinu. Í þetta sinn er hún með brakandi ferskan fiðlukonsert skoska tónskáldsins Helen Grime frá 2016 í farteskinu. Grime er meðal fremstu tónskálda Breta af ungu kynslóðinni og hafa verk hennar verið lofuð fyrir leiftrandi andagift og einstaka hugkvæmni. „Ég er sérstaklega spennt að geta frumflutt fiðlukonsert Helen Grime á Íslandi,“ segir Leila Josefowicz um verkið. „Hann kraumar af líkamlegri orku til jafns við eitthvað dulrænt og himneskt. Fá ný verk eru skemmtilegri að flytja fyrir fólk.“ Upphafsverk tónleikanna er Ballaða í a-moll eftir Samuel Coleridge Taylor, samtímann Elgars, kraftmikið og líflegt verk þar sem dregnar eru fram skýrar tilfinningar þótt formið sé knappt.
