The exceptional violinist James Ehnes returns with Bartok’s intensely romantic concerto, written for and about a woman whom Bartok loved and lost. Brahms’ symphony begins in a stormy and dramatic mood but ends with a sense of calm acceptance.
Bookending the concert with folk music, Giordano Bellincampi finishes with a dash of Brahms’ paprika-infused dances. Ligeti’s Concert Românesc is an affectionate recollection of his Romanian childhood, with the orchestra transformed into a gigantic village band.
