I've searched hearing new works for me from the music files.
I found two exiting violin concerto from the filed recordings, one by James Matheson(b.1970) and another one by Karl Amadeusu Hartmann(1905-1963).
Gil Shaham played Hartmann's concerto with D.Zinman and NYPhil on March.The work was composed around 1939.It's one of Shaham's 1930 project,he said. He did extra ordinary job on this work too. The work sounds such a Bartok and Bloch. I like it.
E.P.Salonen and Chicago Symphony made the first performance of Violinconcerto by James Matheson on Decmber 2011. Soloist was Barid Dodge the orchestra's head of second violins. Mr.Dodge performed the new work just fantasticly well!
I enjoyed every moments of the complicated work. Matheson is not familiar with Japanese audience, we have to know and read his works.
Mr.Matheson lives in NY.
Catch him!
