Modest Mussorgsky: A Night on Bald Mountain
Jean Sibelius: Violin Concerto in D minor op. 47
Béla Bartók: Concerto for Orchestra Sz 116
VENUE PROGRAMME NOTE:
The sound is intense and highly virtuosic when Siblius’ Violin Concerto and Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra are on the programme. Perfect opportunities to shine for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and soloist Julia Fischer.
“The art is to bring in the aspect of nature,” says Julia Fischer about Sibelius’ Violin Concerto, which is one of her favourites. The changing moods of nature determine the unique energy and the extraordinary timbres of the late romantic concerto. Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra is also characterised by a special sound intensity – with its strong string sounds and daring wind passages, it is a showpiece for a noble ensemble such as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
