Concert review 17.11.2010 Frankfurter Neue Presse

a_wk10-3965

"Thrilled the audience: the violinist Hagit Halaf and violist Christoph Emmanuel Langheim."

"Among the pieces played by the internationally known musicians with great virtuosity were Riccardo Joshua Moretti’s “Ebraica”, Edgardo Donato's “A media luz” or by Robert Schumann “Träumerei”. Clear that the family wasn’t allowed to leave without having played some encores."

"Superb String Playing", September 19, 2010, CD review

 

This album is resplendent with excellent string playing. Both Ms. Halaf and Mr. Langheim far exceeded my personal expectations as well as those of my husband; we are both violinists and violists by profession. I found this album when searching for rich, well-rounded repertoire that was playable and accessible to both the contemporary and classical ear. Halaf and Langheim demonstrate an impressive attention to detail, both in their individual playing and as an ensemble. This CD is a delight to the ears and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in well-played violin and viola duos.

New publication of Schubert's Ave Maria for String Duo as well as for string-quartet

Titelblatt_vln_und_va_version Cover_AveMaria_quartett

Print edition of: the famous "Ave Maria" (Ellens Gesang III, op. 52,6, D 839) by Franz Schubert

Transcribed for violin viola duo and String quartet by Christoph Emmanuel LANGHEIM

Revised by the String-Duo Halaf-Langheim

Reviews:

Archi Magazine - maggio-giugno 2011
... Questo adattamento dell’Ave Maria per quartetto d’archi, ad opera di Christoph Emmanuel Langheim, intende rimanere fedele il più possibile all’originale, assegnando la parte del canto al Violino I, mentre il Violino II e la Viola eseguono le terzine con il pizzicato ed il Violoncello, sempre pizzicando, completa l’armonia eseguendo crome in battere, intervallate da pause dello stesso valore ... Da segnalare che, sempre a cura di Langheim, Ut Orpheus ha pubblicato anche la versione per violino e viola. (Pamela Gargiuto)

Strings Magazine (November 2011)
... Due to its devoutly religious nature, the song is often used in sacred ceremonies (with the Latin liturgical text). This arrangement may be useful for occasions where no piano is available. The music is printed in large, clear type and carries bar numbers. The preface, in German and English, includes Schubert's own comments on the song and the text of all three verses. (Edith Eisler)

RECENSIONE ALL’ANNUNZIATA

L’affiatato String Duo inaugura con sapienza «Chiostro d’estate»

E’ stato il suono morbido e raffinato del violino e della viola ad inaugurare sabato, nella cornice del chiostro della chiesa dell’Annunziata, la sesta edizione di Chiostro d’Estate, la rassegna concertistica organizzata da Parma OperArt e Associazione Amici di Padre Lino col patrocinio del Comune di Parma e la collaborazione del Convento dell’Annunziata.

Protagonista dell’incontro è stato infatti lo String Duo formato da Hagit Halaf e Christoph Langheim, rispettivamente violino e viola, formazione sorta poco meno di dieci anni fa e che, costituita da due musicisti dall’intensa attività solistica, da camera o in eminenti compagini orchestrali, ha presentato un programma di grande piacevolezza che andava dal barocco haendeliano ai tanghi di Piazzolla passando per Rossini, Schubert, Pacini, Paganini, con una puntata alla musica d’oggi, benché imbevuta della lunga storica tradizione ebraica, con una composizione di Moretti. Programma eclettico e particolarmente impegnativo, per le caratteristiche intrinseche date dall’unione di questi due strumenti eminentemente monodici, le caratteristiche stilistiche delle pagine successivamente presentate, e quelle virtuosistiche di quasi tutte le trascrizioni (d’epoca o moderne, alcune dello stesso Langheim) nelle quali le varie pagine erano state riviste, a cominciare proprio dalla celeberrima Passacaglia di Händel da Johan Halvorsen, per non parlare poi di quelle, già votate dalla nascita a questa peculiarità, come Il Carnevale di Venezia nella versione di Paganini, o la Sinfonia rossiniana dal Barbiere di Siviglia, le arie operistiche di Pacini o ancora Rossini, per citarne solo alcune. Le pagine più moderne aggiungevano ulteriori sfaccettature a questa ricca proposta, offerta con grande proprietà stilistica e saldezza tecnica da due musicisti a loro agio nel risolvere con disinvolta musicalità le difficoltà di queste pagine, in un risultato salutato dal pubblico con molti convinti applausi, e ripagato… a suon di musica.♦ v.r.s.
