Info for Vivaldi: The Four Seasons

Der junge Geiger Luka Faulisi präsentiert auf seinem zweiten Album eine ungewöhnliche und persönliche Interpretation von Vivaldis "Vier Jahreszeiten".

Seitdem Antonio Vivaldis Zyklus von vier Violinkonzerten mit ihren klangstarken Naturbeschreibungen vor 300 Jahren erschienen ist, haben sich Geigerinnen und Geiger aller Generationen mit diesem Meisterwerk auseinandergesetzt. Luka Faulisi, der in Frankreich bei seinem italienischen Vater aufgewachsen ist, fühlt sich dem Komponisten und Priester aus Venedig auf dreifache Weise verbunden: "über das Nationale, das Instrumentale und das Geistige".

Mit seiner neuen Aufnahme wollte Faulisi "nicht einfach eine weitere Version" von Vivaldis Werk spielen, sondern den offensichtlichen Bezug des Werkes zur Natur noch stärker zum Ausdruck bringen. So ermutigte er Orchestermitglieder, sich weitergehend auf die lautmalerischen Tier- und Naturgeräusche der Komposition einzulassen und fügte Perkussionsinstrumente hinzu, die in der Originalpartitur nicht vorkommen.

Wichtige Anregungen für diese besondere Interpretation kamen von der künstlerischen Leiterin des (OH!) Orkiestra Ensembles, Martyna Pastuszka, welche die Aufnahme dirigierte: "Wir hatten genau die gleiche Vorstellung davon, was wir mit den ‚Vier Jahreszeiten‘ machen wollten", sagt Faulisi. "Wir wollten es wie für einen Film machen, der all die Emotionen und Stimmungen noch besser einfangen würde."

Luka Faulisi verbindet Vivaldis Konzerte mit drei, ebenfalls von Jahreszeiten inspirierten Werken: eine katalanische Melodie, die durch Pablo Casals berühmt wurde, "El cant dels ocells", das eindringliche "Nocturne" von Lili Boulanger, der ersten Preisträgerin des Prix de Rome, die 1918 im Alter von 24 Jahren an Tuberkulose starb, und Tschaikowskys "Herbstlied (Oktober)" aus seinem Zyklus "Die Jahreszeiten", ein Stück von zurückhaltender Romantik.

Luka Faulisi wurde vom legendären Pinchas Zukerman als Geiger "mit einem Millionen Dollar-Sound" bezeichnet. Seit er 2022 im Alter von 20 Jahren bei Sony Classical unter Vertrag genommen wurde, hat er eine internationale Karriere begonnen, nachdem er am Maastrichter Konservatorium bei Boris Belkin studiert hatte. Vor kurzem erhielt er ein Vollstipendium der Royal Academy of Music in London, um den Performance Advanced Diploma Kurs bei Robin Wilson zu belegen.

Luka Faulisi
Luka Faulisi is one of the most promising violinists of the young generation. Growing up in a musical family – his father a flautist and renowned flute maker – he started to play the violin at the age of three and was a student under Boris Belkin at the Conservatorium Maastricht, Netherlands. He is currently studying at the Academy Lorenzo Perosi in Biella, Italy with Professor Pavel Berman, who describes Faulisi as “…an incredibly gifted virtuoso violinist”. Leading flautist, Emmanuel Pahud has referred to Faulisi’s “…great instrumental abilities and strong musical expression”. Recent debuts include performances at the Cité de la Musique in Paris, at the KKL Luzerner Saal with the Menuhin Academy Camerata Soloists, and at the Kolarac Hall in Belgrade with the Radio Television Serbia Symphony Orchestra.

Luka’s 2022/23 season highlights include debuts with the Szczecin Philharmonic under Case Scaglione, the Hong Kong Sinfonietta under Ken Lam, the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse under Wilson Ng, and the Orchestra Filarmonica di Torino under Giampaolo Pretto. Luka’s debut recital album Aria, recorded with the pianist Itamar Golan, is due for release by Sony Classical International in Spring 2023. The album will showcase Luka’s innate and prodigious musicianship as he explores much-loved opera repertoire by composers such as Bizet, Gounod, Rimsky-Korsakov, Szymanowski, Tchaikovsky and Verdi in sparkling arrangements for violin and piano.

Luka says, “Being part of the IMG Artists roster is such a privilege that I cannot express my gratitude enough to Elena Kostova and Juliette Vix, who are generously giving me the opportunity to develop my artistic career in this internationally renowned agency. I am very fortunate to work with Elena and Juliette as they are very attentive to my ideas with regards to the repertoire choices for both concerts and recording projects. Their strategic approach, based on their vast experience, and deep appreciation of my personal and cultural background mean that their guidance and advice are entirely relevant to my own context. I am looking forward to this collaboration which promises to be very fruitful!”

Elena and Juliette say, “We are incredibly excited to be working with such a promising talent as Luka. His maturity and depth of artistic ideas are impressive for one so young. Luka’s enviable virtuosity coupled with an electrifying musical personality is tremendously inspirational, and his unique and rich cultural background is a big asset defying many boundaries. We look forward with great excitement to our collaboration with Luka as he develops to the fullest of his potential on his artistic and personal journey.“
