Conductor - Antony HermusViolin - Gil Shaham
Beethoven - Violin Concerto
Prokofiev - Cinderella (selections)
Beethoven’s towering concerto stands in Olympian solitude. Its technical challenges test the strongest violinists; its artistic ones expose the soul of the supreme musicians. Gil Shaham, appearing for the first time in New Zealand, is unquestionably such an artist.
Prokofiev saw the heroine of his ballet as more than a fairytale character, calling her ‘a real person, feeling, experiencing, and moving among us’. He clothes her in music which, by turns, is sprightly, ebullient, and sweetly full of heartfelt longing.
