Description
[...] Konsertto on Roi Ruottisen tilausteos. Soolosello-osuus on kirjoitettu varta vasten Roita varten. Säveltäessäni teosta esitteli Roi useaan otteeseen sellon äänivaroja ja suurimman ihastuksen minussa herätti puhdas melodinen laulava linja. Päätin näiden tapaamisiemme aikana, että teoksesta tulee sellainen, joka antaa sellolle tilaa ja aikaa soida kauniisti; kamariyhtyekin on vain kymmenhenkinen ja säestävä antaen solistin loistaa tähtenä. Sello-osuus on virtuoosinen, mutta ei kuitenkaan vain teknisessä mielessä.
Melodiakaaret ovat pitkiä, joten fraseeraus jännitteen ylläpitämiseen luo solistille haasteita sorminäppäryyden lisäksi. Teos on yksiosainen kaari jännitettynä alusta loppuun, kuin pitkä viidentoista minuutin pituinen henkäys tai huokaisu. Nimi Madrigal tarkoitti renessanssiaikana maallista laulua, joka kertoi useimmiten rakkaudesta. Samaa merkitystä tarkoitan itse konserttoni nimellä. Teos on erittäin maanläheinen ja laulava, hurmioituneiden melodioiden tavoitellessa rakastumisen ekstaasia. Madrigal on omistettu sekä illan solistille Roi Ruottiselle että inspiraationi lähteelle Anna Hallikaiselle.
