What's interesting about this concert...
-
Overture in C Major is a charming miniature full of sparkling melodies and evocative orchestrations. The music is a highlight of the composer's output.
-
Having been rewritten “at least half a dozen times,” Max Bruch's Violin Concerto remains an audience delight with soaring, endearing melodies and dazzling virtuosic passages.
-
In the notes to his visionary score, Berlioz writes: "The composer's intention has been to develop various episodes in the life of an artist, in so far as they lend themselves to musical treatment."
