Event Details
W.A. Mozart, Abduction from the Seraglio
M. Bruch, Violin Concerto No. 1
R. Strauss, Alpensinfonie
Spectacular and beautiful are two words to describe Richard Strauss’ Alpine Symphony. Inspired by a day Strauss got caught during a ferocious storm on a mountain in Bavaria, this is one of the most thrilling orchestral works of all time. His extravagant orchestral resources include a wind machine and a thunder machine. Elina Vähälä plays the wonderfully lyrical, yet virtuoso concerto by Max Bruch, preceded by a witty and delightful overture by Mozart.
“Violinist fiddles like the devil, and the results are heavenly.
Elina Vähälä uses her 1678 Stradivarius violin as a musical weapon.”
