Bartók: Concerto for Orchestra Sz 116
VENUE PROGRAMME NOTE:
‘The art is not just to approach this work from a human perspective \<…> but to bring in the aspect of nature,‘ says Julia Fischer about Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. It is one of her favourite pieces and has been on the programme for many important debuts in her impressive career. The changing moods of nature determine the unique energy and extraordinary tone colours of this late romantic concerto. A theme that could hardly be more topical 100 years after its composition. The intensity of sound also characterises Béla Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra – highly virtuosic and hope-giving, it is one of the absolute masterpieces of the orchestral repertoire. With its strong string sounds and daring wind passages, it is a showpiece for a renowned orchestra such as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of its chief conductor Vasily Petrenko.
