About
Do you know Richard Wetz? He spent most of his life away from the major music capitals. Born in Gleiwitz (Gliwice), he briefly studied in Leipzig and then went for good to Erfurt. His musical model was and always remained – quite audibly so – Anton Bruckner. So then he was an anachronistic epigone? No, a great musician with a lot of inspiration and talent who came forward committed to a set principle and remained true to it. And he had acommand of his métier. Richard Wetz is worth getting to know. Along with his three highly atmospheric symphonies, it is his Violin Concerto that in its free developmental form is one of the most interesting solo concertos of the early twentieth century. An “erratic block” full of virtuosic elegance and contrapuntal finesse!
“Wonderfully beautiful music. His themes sing and offer clearly contrasting moods and pictures.Finely performed, finely recorded.” – ClassicsToday.com
