Robert Wittinger: Irreversibilitazione (1968)

Robert Wittinger (*1945): Irreversibilitazione, per violoncello solo e orchestra, (1968). Siegfried Palm, violoncello Südwestfunk Symphony Orchestra diretta da Ernest Bour. Cover image: painting by Karen Jacobs. “irreversibilitazione per violoncello solo e orchestra“ op. 10 is Wittinger’s second solo concerto after his “consonante“ op. 5 for cor anglais. Commissioned by the Südwestfunk for the Donauesching Music Festival in 1968, it was dedicated to Heinrich Strobel for his 70th birthday. It was given its first performance by Siegfried Palm with the Südwestfunk Symphony Orchestra under Ernest Bour. It comprises seven overlapping phases. The solo part alternates largely with the orchestra, the entries being very clearly punctuated. The title implies that the material (with few exceptions) is not re-used during the piece. Stress is laid on beautiful sound and subtle instrumentation.
