Title

Mar&iacute;a Due&ntilde;as Orchestre M&eacute;tropolitain Yannick N&eacute;zet-S&eacute;guin

HALVORSEN Violin Concerto · Chant de la "Veslemøy" / Yannick Nézet-Séguin, María Dueñas

Halvorsen: Violin Concerto & Chant de la "Veslemøy"

Violin Concerto, Op. 28 Chant de la "Veslem&oslash;y"

This album by star violinist Mar&iacute;a Due&ntilde;as features Johan Halvorsen&rsquo;s long-lost Violin Concerto and Chant de la &ldquo;Veslem&oslash;y&rdquo;, recorded with the Orchestre M&eacute;tropolitain under Yannick N&eacute;zet-S&eacute;guin.
The album is released in connection with Measures for a Funeral (2024), the film in which the violinist made her acting debut.
Captured live at Montreal&rsquo;s Maison symphonique in collaboration with DG, the recordings bring renewed attention to Halvorsen&rsquo;s Violin Concerto, a work dedicated to pioneering Canadian violinist Kathleen Parlow and long believed lost until its rediscovery among her personal papers a decade ago. The concerto is paired with Chant de la &ldquo;Veslem&oslash;y&rdquo;, a lyrical miniature also closely associated with Parlow.
In Measures for a Funeral, Due&ntilde;as appears as the young violinist Elisa, performing the concerto at the film&rsquo;s emotional climax. Inspired by Parlow&rsquo;s life, the film explores themes of grief, memory and artistic legacy, while Olivier Alary&rsquo;s atmospheric score complements Halvorsen&rsquo;s late-Romantic sound world with music expressing the inner journey of its central character.
The album is available digitally.
A second album featuring the original motion picture soundtrack to Sofia Bohdanowicz&rsquo;s Measures for a Funeral, will be released digitally on 4 December.
