World premieere 1984, Pinchas Zukerman (viola), Pittsburgh Symphony, cond. Andre Previn Miklos Rozsa's Viola Concerto op. 37 is the composer's last orchestral work. It concludes a series of concertos in which Rozsa devoted one piece each to an instrument that he was particularly fond of (violoncello, piano, violin and the Sinfonia concertante for violin and violoncello) or to a specific performer. The Viola Concerto is dedicated to the then young soloist Pinchas Zukerman, who gave the first performance of the piece in May 1984 in Pittsburgh under the direction of Andre Previn. A surprising touch is the concerto's four-movement form. In the work's dark instrumental colors, the composer underlines his great admiration for his acclaimed fellow Hungarian Bela Bartok more intensely than ever before.

CD Naxos 8.570925 Die erste Fassung des 'Schweinehirten' endet - wie bei Andersen - traurig. Als ich bei der Urauffuhrung der Oper damals in Dresden die Kinder erlebte wie sie fragten: 'Aber warum weint die Prinzessin warum hilft ihr denni keiner?' - da bin ich zu dem Schluss gekommen dass man das Ende der Oper nicht so lassen kann wie es ist. Sie muss irgendwie ausschwingen egal ob mit einem guten oder offenen Ausgang. Ich hatte mir ursprunglich keine Gedanken uber Kinder gemacht. Ich wusste nur dass ich keine Kinderklischees produzieren wollte so nette Kinderliedchen - ich wollte in der Sprache unseres Jahrhunderts schreiben. (Gerhard Schedl).
