Music from the New World (IV)
Fri. 22 November 2013 20:30
Megaron – The Athens Concert Hall
Christos Lambrakis Hall
The overture to Bernstein’s operetta, Candide, and Barber’s lyric Violin Concerto—performed on this occasion by the Japanese violinist, Kyoko Tanino—share an irresistible tonal delicacy. The centrepiece of the programme, however, is the stirring Ninth Symphony by the Czech Romantic composer, Antonín Dvorak, whose experiences of the New World it conveys with passion and magnificence.
