Description
PROGRAM:Adam Shoenberg: Canto
Samuel Barber: Violin Concerto, Op. 14
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 in E minor, Op. 64
Conductor: Tito Muñoz
Soloist: Anne Akiko Meyers, violin
Adam Schoenberg’s Canto opens the program and introduces us to a new composer very much in vogue today. Next up is Barber's virtuosic concerto, combining lush Romantic lyricism and angular 'modern' energy, with a brilliant ending that is a notorious test of the violinist's skill. In the second half, we hear Tchaikovsky's magnificent symphony, with its unparalleled mastery of all the orchestra's voices -- famously played through without a pause in WWII Leningrad during a ferocious bombing attack.
