J. BRAHMS · Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 77
F. MENDELSSOHN BARTHOLDY · Symphony No. 3, Op. 56, “The Scottish”
Twelve years of inspiration, a violin concerto full of passion, and a symphony that stirs a longing for distant lands: the curtain rises on a concert where brilliant melodies penned by two Romantic composers will captivate the audience. The program opens with Johannes Brahms’s only violin concerto, a masterpiece brimming with intense expressiveness and virtuosity that ranks among the “Big Five” of violin repertoire and will be performed by rising star Leonhard Baumgartner. This will be followed by Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3, the opening section of which he composed at the age of twenty during a trip to Scotland. Twelve years later, “The Scottish” was completed—a work that reflects wild landscapes, a harsh climate, and the characteristic sound of bagpipes.
