Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64
Brahms Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68
Maxim Vengerov violin
Marios Papadopoulos conductor
If any symphony was worth the wait, it was Brahms’s First. Decades in the making, it stands as one of the most emotionally riveting and intellectually satisfying orchestral works of the nineteenth century and fully deserves its reputation for taking Beethoven’s mantle and charging forward with it. Before Brahms’s urgent symphony, music of a different mood altogether. We welcome our longstanding friend Maxim Vengerov for a performance of Mendelssohn’s love letter of a violin concerto - another score that took years to complete, but this one sounding as effortlessly gorgeous as can be.
