I know nothing about Henri Marteau. Anyone here have the whip handle on him?

[Richard Barrett]

Anyone here have the whip handle on him?

Ooh you are awful.

Spinning here: Les Plaisirs du Louvre. Airs pour la Chambre de Louis XIII by Ensemble Correspondances (Harmonia Mundi)
Excellent performances of relatively obscure but beautiful repertoire.

[Pulcinella]

I know nothing about Henri Marteau. Anyone here have the whip handle on him?

I wonder who taught him.
Or is he Le marteau sans maître?

[Serial_Apologist]

I wonder who taught him.
Or is he Le marteau sans maître?

Notwithstanding his name, he was an early 20th century composer and virtuoso violinist who lived in France until WW1 then obtained Swedish nationality and moved to Sweden. No wonder I hadn't heard of him!

I'll check and see if I can find any youtube links for his music to get some idea of it.

[Bryn]

Notwithstanding his name, he was an early 20th century Swedish-born composer . . .

I Thor that might have been the case. Nailed it.

Vaughan Williams: Job + Symphony No. 9 (Bergen Philharmonic, Andrew Davis)

Henri Marteau - Violin Concerto in C, Op 18 (1919)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3BWiZjOHdw

This turns out to be a fascinating work, late romantic, never banal or overwrought but at times powerfully declamatory at others bordering on the fantastical, the big first movement occupying half of the entire work, and in an idiom somwhere between Berlioz and Reinecke, if such an improbable association can be imagined! Anyway, well worth hearing.

Thanks, Stan!

Unfortunately the only comment is in German, of which I have very limited knowledge.
