Marios Papadopoulos conductor
Glazunov’s Violin Concerto is one of the best-kept secrets of the romantic repertoire, a score whose sensuous, rhapsodic solo line weaves sweetness and melancholia. The sensational prodigy Paloma So plays it here but for the rest of this concert, prepare to party like its 1899 as the Oxford Philharmonic masquerades as its Vienna counterpart to bring in the New Year with the stirring marches, pointed polkas and elegant waltzes of Austrian tradition. Marios Papadopoulos takes charge of music bounding with joie de vivre that’s also all about detail and style. There’s no better way to drive away the January blues than be swept away by some of the most embracing music ever written.
