Experience the captivating blend of heartfelt lyricism and sparkling elegance with Henryk Wieniawski's beloved Romance sans paroles et Rondo élégant, Op. 9, now exquisitely arranged for solo violin and string orchestra. This charming and virtuosic work, a perennial favourite from the Romantic repertoire, is transformed into a rich orchestral experience, perfectly balancing its tender intimacy with dazzling brilliance.
Henryk Wieniawski (1835-1880), one of history's most revered violin virtuosos and composers, poured his lyrical and technical genius into works that remain central to the instrument's repertoire. His Op. 9, originally for violin and piano, masterfully juxtaposes the singing lines of a "Song without Words" with the refined vivacity of an "Elegant Rondo." This arrangement by Paul Wood meticulously expands the original piano accompaniment to a full string orchestra, enriching the harmonic textures and providing a sympathetic, supportive backdrop that enhances the solo violin's commanding presence. It retains all the original charm and expressive demands of the solo line while offering a more substantial and colourful concert experience.
