Arabella Miho Steinbacher (born 14 November 1981) is a German classical violinist.
Breathtaking virtuosity flows seamlessly with expansive lyrical passages and fiendish passagework in this commanding performance by Arabella Steinbacher of the restless and technically demanding violin concertos of Britten and Hindemith in this new release from PENTATONE, with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin conducted by Vladimir Jurowski.
Britten s haunting and mesmerising violin concerto is considered one of the century s finest. The three contrasting movements are replete with grand theatrical gestures, unabashed lyricism, and show-stopping pyrotechnics, and the work closes with an austere passacaglia of other-wordly beauty and power. Following the work s enthusiastic reception at its premiere in 1940 at Carnegie Hall, Britten declared So far, it is without question my best piece .
Britten and Hindemith completed their concertos at about the same time, writes Steinbacher, both are absolutely bursting with emotional turmoil, persisting precariousness, and latent despair. Steinbacher feels a particular affinity with the Hindemith concerto. Every artist introduces his own life experiences and personal feelings into his interpretations … with the Hindemith concerto, I have an extremely close, even private connection, as my father knew Hindemith rather well.
Steinbacher s previous recordings for PENTATONE have received widespread praise. For her playing in the Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky violin concertos, Gramophone commented one could hardly wish for a more expressive account of both concertos ; for the Korngold and Bruch Violin Concertos, Gramophone noted Steinbacher s easy virtuosity with concern to find the right tone and nuance for every phrase . And BBC Music Magazine said of her last album, Fantasies, Rhapsodies, Daydreams, that it was recorded in glowing sound that feels astonishingly lifelike … this recital is something of a triumph.
