Modestas PitrenasAbout
For Pina Napolitano there are romantic echoes in the works of the Second Viennese School; an enormous expressive force distilled and compressed, all the way up to Webern's rarefied language where even the silences are charged with music and significance. And on the other hand she has always perceived Brahms's music as a magical prism, in which an entire musical past (encompassing Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann…) merges together, before breaking off into rivulets that will give birth to 20th-century music.
Whereas 'Brahms the Progressive' Volume 1 focussed on solo piano repertoire, Volume 2 expands into the realm of the concerto. Pina Napolitano is joined by the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra and conductor Modestas Pitrėnas for the sparkling, kaleidoscopic Concerto, op.24, by Webern and the expansive, delectable Piano Concerto no.2 by Brahms. Both works, as Pina Napolitano puts it in her artist statement in the album booklet, possess 'the same deep structures and musical logic. They address the same problems of musical construction: the perfectly economic use of classical forms, the absolute concision … the presentation of musical material in crystal-like formations…'
Listening to these works side by side illuminates both in new ways, creating two-way context as these masters seemingly reach out to one another across time, Brahms anticipating Webern and Webern, via his teacher Schoenberg, acknowledging Brahms, the progressive.
