Desire DefauwAbout
This CD features the only two concertos Dubois ever recorded; both of these seminal recordings were made with the Belgian conductor Désiré Defauw who later became Director of the Chicago Symphony. The Violin Concerto no.6 in E flat ‘by Mozart’ was actually written by the Mannheim-born composer and violinist Johann Friedrich Eck; nevertheless, it was extremely popular in the mid-20th century when it was frequently performed by Jacques Thibaud, Christian Ferras and Henryk Szeryng, all of whom recorded the piece.
Dubois’s premiere recording of the Vieuxtemps Violin Concerto no.5 is a superb composition, rich in musical ideas and craftsmanship. Although written as an examination piece, its musical merit has established it as one of the standard concerto in the violin repertoire. It was a favourite of no less than Jascha Heifetz, Itzhak Perlman and Pinchas Zukerman, and is known as the ‘Grétry’ Concerto because of its quotation from André Grétry’s opera Lucile.
