When at the age of 15 André Navarra (1911-1988) completed his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, he ceased taking lessons and set out on his own path, honing his skills on, among other things, Ševčík’s virtuoso violin etudes, which he himself arranged for the cello. He drew inspiration from the finest instrumentalists of his time. Victory in the prestigious competition in Vienna (1937) launched his international career as a soloist. Following his debut at the Prague Spring festival in May 1951, he would pay numerous visits to the city – to appear at the festival, to perform opposite the Czech Philharmonic, as well as to record for Supraphon. The present 5-CD pack is the first complete release of the 19 studio albums Navarra made for the label between 1953 and 1966, including some remarkable tracks that have not been previously issued digitally. His collaboration with Karel Ančerl and Josef Suk gave rise to the legendary recording of Brahms’s Double Concerto, with the accounts of pieces by Prokofiev, Bloch, Schumann and Respighi made with the Czech Philharmonic under Ančerl being just as impressive and enthralling. In addition to Josef Suk, Navarra worked with the superlative pianists Alfred Holeček and František Maxián.
The Supraphon set includes six hours of sensitively remastered recordings, which bear witness to Navarra’s artistry, emotional poignancy and spontaneous musicianship; a real treat for those loving the enchanting cello timbres.
André Navarra’s Supraphon recordings – for the first time in their entirety, newly remastered. Simply indispensable.
Když patnáctiletý André Navarra (1911-1988) završil studia na pařížské konzervatoři, přestal brát hodiny a začal si vyšlapávat vlastní cestu; bezchybnou techniku získal mj. na Ševčíkových virtuosních houslových etudách, které sám upravoval pro violoncello. Inspiraci pak čerpal od nejlepších instrumentalistů své doby. Vítězství v prestižní soutěži ve Vídni (1937) mu otevřelo cestu k mezinárodní sólové kariéře. Od svého debutu na Pražském jaru v květnu 1951 se do Prahy mnohokrát vracel - na týž festival, za Českou filharmonií a do studií Supraphonu. Devatenáct studiových nahrávek, jež pro Supraphon natočil mezi lety 1953-1966, zde vychází poprvé kompletně, včetně několika pozoruhodných, na CD dosud nevydaných snímků. Setkání s Karlem Ančerlem a Josefem Sukem dalo vzniknout nejen legendární nahrávce Brahmsova Dvojkoncertu; díla Prokofjeva, Blocha, Schumanna či Respighiho pořízená s Ančerlovou Českou filharmonií jsou srovnatelně silná a okouzlující. Vedle Josefa Suka našel Navarra další skvělé komorní spoluhráče v klavíristech Alfredu Holečkovi a Františku Maxiánovi. Supraphonský komplet přináší více než šest hodin pečlivě remasterovaných nahrávek, jež jsou dokladem Navarrova mistrovství, emocionální naléhavosti a spontánní muzikality; skutečná delikatesa pro milovníky okouzlujících barev violoncella.
Supraphonské nahrávky André Navarry - poprvé kompletně, nově remasterované. Zn. Nepostradatelné!
