NEW CD with Tartini Concertos is out now!
After devoting a disc to sonatas by Giuseppe Tartini, for this anniversary year of the illustrious Paduan virtuoso, Evgeny Sviridov offers us a recording of violin concertos. This is his first collaboration with Millenium Orchestra, the ensemble founded by Leonardo García Alarcón in the framework of CAVEMA in Namur. Most of the concertos selected come from manuscript copies made in eighteenth-century Germany, where Tartini’s reputation was very high. Evgeny Sviridov has found in these scores cadenzas and ornaments which are very probably in the hand of Johann Georg Pisendel, the great virtuoso violinist of the Dresden court, a friend (and interpreter) of Johann Sebastian Bach! Following a practice that was becoming increasingly common in Germany at that time, one of the concertos has two horn parts in addition to the strings. Of the 130 or so surviving violin concertos, Evgeny Sviridov has selected five (D major D24, A major D89, E major D48, E minor D55, G minor D85).

The Tartini CD got the "Preis der deutschen Schallplatenkritik"2019 !
"Mit ihren unübersehbar vielen Trillern, ihrem virtuosen Passagenwerk sowie mit endlosen Doppel- und Tripelgriffen verlangen die Violinsonaten von Giuseppe Tartini dem Solisten einiges an Technik ab – und doch Evgeny Sviridov gelingt das Kunststück, dies alles in den Dienst eines sehr sensiblen und poetischen Ausdrucks zu stellen. Sein Geigenton besticht durch eine immense Kantabilität und durch subtile Nuancen, seine Artikulation ist sehr rhetorisch, seine Phrasierung schlägt weite, emphatische Bögen. Ein besseres Plädoyer für den spätbarocken Eigenbrötler Tartini ist derzeit kaum vorstellbar." (Für die Jury: Matthias Hengelbrock)
