	Program Notes
		While Pablo de Sarasate was indisputably one of the most prominent and successful violin virtuosos of the 19th century, his reputation as a composer has sometimes suffered due to his avoidance of the larger, more serious genres.
		Sarasate favored the French repertory and an engaging style of performance, while Joachim's Germanic approach was more classical and refined, and focused on the conservative repertory.
		Sarasate wrote Navarra as a tribute to his birthplace of Pamplona, the largest city in the Spanish part of the Navarre region (which extends across the border into France as well).

		Pablo de Sarasate was born Pablo Martin Melton Sarasate y Navascuez, the son of a local military bandmaster in the Spanish town of Pamplona, where each July brings the Fiesta de San Fermín and its notorious "running of the bulls." Sarasate demonstrated musical talent very early and began violin lessons at age five.
		Of Sarasate's 57 known compositions, many of which served him well in his own concerts, the majority have been forgotten; they were fashioned in a style that reached little beyond its own time.
		Sarasate was not a mainstream Romantic virtuoso in the mold of Joseph Joachim and did not play the Brahms concerto; he played with a lighter touch, and preferred lighter fare.

		Sarasate was known more as a virtuoso violinist than as a composer--essentially, he composed flashy but trite pieces to display his virtuosity; and he treated Dvorak and his work with some contempt.
		The liner notes tell us that Sarasate said of Dvorak's violin concerto that it was "nothing but pom-pom-pom and old-fashioned form." This reveals more about Sarasate than Dvorak, of course.
		What Sarasate has added is filigree--lovely ornamentation indeed, allowing the soloist to demonstrate their technique with double stops, harmonics, and the like, but nonetheless insubstantial compared to Dvorak's work.

		Sarasate was born in 1832 in a small village in Burgundy.
		Sarasate is respected by a small coterie of professionals and dilettantes who will eventually pass on as well, to be replaced by smaller and smaller such groups until he is as forgotten as a Neanderthal's uncle.

		PABLO MARTIN MELITON DE SARASATE Y NAVASCUES (1844-1908), Spanish violinist, was born at Pamplona on the I oth of March 1844.
		His artistic pre-eminence was due principally to the purity of his tone, which was free from any tendency towards sentimentality and rhapsodic mannerism, and to the astonishing facility of execution which made him in the best sense of the word a virtuoso.
		Although in the Beethoven and Mendelssohn concertos, and in modern French and Belgian works, his playing was unrivalled, his qualities were most clearly revealed in the solos which he himself composed, which were "the spirit of Spanish dance translated into terms of the violin virtuoso." Sarasate died at Biarritz on the 10th of September 1908.

		An anthology of little known pieces chiseled from the bow of Pablo de Sarasate, one of the finest violinists and composers from the end of the nineteenth century, a time when music knew how to distract as much as to move...
		These fireworks of double and triple stops, artificial harmonics, incredible extensions and avalanches of the left-hand pizzicati are nowadays part of the standard arsenal (repertory) of the virtuoso violin.
		Yet Sarasate's brilliant technique was conceived not to show off, but to create an atmosphere suited to each of these little "paintings": the Serenade Andalouse, the Russian Song or the Jota Aragonesa are fine illustration of these effects.

		The Hungarian syncopation used in that section reflects the words of the song, as in Hungarian language the emphasis is usually on the first syllable of the word, as opposed to French, for example, emphasis falls usually on the last syllable.
		During my research I read a theory saying that Sarasate composed "Zigeunerweisen" after he had heard one of the Czardash (I apologize if my spelling is incorrect) piece as he was travelling in Hungary.

		It is unashamedly a fun record, and even Mutter has rarely played with such freedom and warmth, obviously enjoying these display pieces every bit as much as the repertory concertos and new works that are her staple diet.
		The gipsy flavours of the two Sarasate pieces, as well as of Ravel's Tzigane, sound even more exotic than usual, and rarely have I heard the brilliant sound section, with its Hungarian fire, sound quite so exciting with a stunning accelerando at the end.
		Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy, which provides the whole disc with its title, is as high-powered as the Ravel, and I was fascinated to compare it with Itzhak Perlman's 1972 version with Lawrence Foster and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for EMI, which has long been a favourite of mine and which reappeared on their four-disc Perlman compilation.
