Info for Reger, Busch & Weinreich: Suites for Viola



With their Suites for Solo Viola Max Reger, Adolf Busch and Justus Weinreich paid tribute to the special qualities of the instrument as a soloist even before the production of viola repertoire began to flourish in the twentieth century. This album includes the premiere recording of the Suites by Justus Weinreich: a significant musical discovery.

Roland Glassl, the longstanding violist of the Mandelring Quartet, presents his debut solo album performing suites for solo viola. Bach's works for solo string instruments were the model, the stylistic and virtuosic possibilities around 1900 the gauge: the works by Max Reger, Adolf Busch and Justus Weinreich were written between 1894 and 1925, so before the great twentieth century flowering of solo and concerto repertoire for the viola. Weinreich's suites of 1894 are the pioneers: a wonderful discovery and now available as a recording for the first time. Max Reger did not manage to write his planned fourth suite for the violist of the Busch Quartet: Adolf Busch, the leader of the ensemble, fulfilled his friend's project by composing his own suite.

"Roland Gassl plays colorfully and with a lot of fantasy. The Weinreich Suites are world premiere recordings." (Pizzicato)
