Bartók, Violin Concerto No. 2 *
Unsuk Chin, Subito con forza
Programme Description:
Three heroic works are featured, beginning with Subito con
forza, by South Korea’s Unsuk Chin. Her orchestral miniature,
is “haunted by Beethovenian gestures…amid Chin's own
exquisite orchestral palette - icy shivers of strings, rasping
woodwind and ghostly muted trumpets" (The Guardian). In
producing his Violin Concerto No. 2, Bartók followed in the
footsteps of Beethoven and Brahms with a work that quickly
became championed by Yehudi Menuhin – here played by the
VS’s Concertmaster Terence Tam. Beethoven’s monumental
Third Symphony was bigger and longer than anything that
preceded it - and it remains a colossus of the musical
literature.
