Wanting to write something with an adventurous spirit, Beethoven composed the exhilarating Fidelio Overture – a tour de force of orchestral virtuosity.
The epitome of Romanticism and one of the most popular concertos in the classical repertory, Bruch’s Violin Concerto No.1 opens with an impassioned flourish for solo violin. Performed by the outstanding violinist Tasmin Little and conducted by Rory Macdonald, this piece contrasts a rhythmic orchestral pattern with a dramatic solo theme.
Mendelssohn’s Symphony No.3 will close the concert. Inspired by his visit to Scotland as part of his ‘Grand Tour’, Mendelssohn’s ‘Scottish’ Symphony evokes the wildness of the Highlands with the charisma of the Romantic movement.
