About this Performance
A violinist of “velvety tone and...a high degree of elegance” (Los Angeles Times), Renaud Capuçon brings these ideal qualities to Mozart’s sublime Third Violin Concerto. Albert Einstein claimed that its Adagio “seems to have fallen straight from heaven,” before culminating in a lively Alsatian dance.
Finland's greatest symphonist, Jean Sibelius modeled his first contribution to the genre on Tchaikovsky’s “Pathétique” Symphony, layering it with his trademark soaring themes and thrilling drama. The work quickly became a point of national pride, performed by the Helsinki Orchestra across Europe on its first tour.
This performance is generously supported in part by the Kohl Virtuoso Violin Fund.
