- The viola is not often a featured instrument in symphony
orchestras or recitals, but Polish-born Piotr Kargul and Julliard-trained
Ron De Fesi demonstrate what a treasure the instrument can be
in “The Art of Viola,” a rich and rare viola recital.
Their program, featuring works by Puccini, Beethoven, Fauré,
Hindemith, Rachmaninoff, Kreisler, Mascagni, Bruch, Debussy,
Hummel and Piotr Kargul himself, includes selections bound to
please almost every musical preference. Because the viola is
so infrequently heard as a solo instrument, most of the selections
in this recital were written for violin or other instruments
and had to be specially arranged for the viola. Audiences uniformly
praise the warm, fluent, and mellow timbre of Piotr’s viola
in dialogue with Ron’s pianistic virtuosity.
