Description

Tadaaki Otaka  conductor Eldbjørg Hemsing  violin FIERY | IMPASSIONED | RICH Quasi improvisatory melodies weave with rhythmic accompaniment, reminiscent of folk songs being accompanied by harp, in Grace Williams' Penillion. Meditative lyricism bends to rousingly fiery dances in this enchanting concert opener, conducted by our much-loved Conductor Laureate, Tadaaki Otaka.   Soaring melody, quirky bravado and fiendishly tricky virtuosity radiate in Bruch's passionate Violin Concerto. From soloistic fireworks to its rich orchestral backdrop there is little wonder this concerto remains a favourite with soloists and audiences alike, and to perform we're delighted to welcome back violin sensation, Eldbjørg Hemsing. Similarly passionate is Rachmaninov's Third Symphony, striking climaxes give way to soulful solos, forceful marches to thunderous celebration, all based on one musical motif skilfully transformed and developed throughout.
