About This Event
Violonist Renaud Capuçon, will combine Bartók’s two violin concertos after having performed two of the most demanding Beethoven string quartets the previous evening! The intimate and dark first vioin concerto is like an inner rhapsody, while Violin Concerto No 2 features varied themes and shines with virtuosity.
Between the two, the orchestra performs the role of soloist in the Concerto for Orchestra, in which each player takes turn to express themselves. As conductor Peter Eötvös is also a composer, he knows better than anyone else how to give life to the splendid orchestration of the Hungarian master.
