The Spanish violinist María Dueñas presents her debut album with one of the most musically demanding and emotionally profound works in the repertoire – Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. “You can’t rely on virtuosity in Beethoven’s concerto; you have to reveal yourself,” says María Dueñas. And that can only be done through sound.” Recorded live at Vienna’s Musikverein with the Wiener Symphoniker and Manfred Honeck it is now the opening work on her Deutsche Grammophon debut album, Beethoven and Beyond. Featuring her own newly written cadenzas for each movement, the recording reveals María Dueñas as both performer and composer.
As noted by Spanish music magazine Codalario in a review of one of her January 2023 performances at the Musikverein, Dueñas’s strength of personality emerged to the full when, during the first movement, she stepped away from tradition to offer her own cadenza. “It was like a breath of fresh air,” wrote the critic, “revealing her beautiful sound, with double and triple stops, rich trills and, above all, despite its modernity, an enormous respect for the essence of Beethoven.”
María Dueñas, who has been studying in Vienna with the world-renowned Professor Boris Kuschnir for several years, won first prize with her interpretation of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto at the final of the Viktor Tretyakov International Violin Competition in September 2021. By then, DG had already invited her to record the work on the strength of a performance given earlier that year with the Dresdner Philharmoniker and Marek Janowski. “Beethoven’s Violin Concerto has accompanied me during the most important moments of my life,” notes Dueñas. “The move from Germany to Vienna on the recommendation of my mentor Maestro Vladimir Spivakov, my education, and now the recording – Beethoven has always played a part.” She is particularly pleased to have recorded the work with Manfred Honeck, another of her mentors.
“[Dueñas’s] combination of tautness and elasticity, of drive and sensitivity, was as enchanting as the focused, luminous tone of her violin.”

Every casual days goes by like the wind while listening to Beethoven Beethoven‘s music and her wonderful performance will quench and moisturize my parched soul

It's a performance that takes one back to the era of Beethoven, the era of horse-drawn carriages, and the era of Napoleon. The difference between the Austrian and German ways of expressing Beethoven's music is very clear.
