Beethoven (1770-1827)

Description:

A performance with a new interpretation that finds new context and light by juxtaposing two contrasting works by Wylde Frang. It is more than music; its dimensions feel almost cosmic. The power of this concerto astounds me again and again." says Vilde Flang. Flang juxtaposes Beethoven's epic work with Stravinsky's compact violin concerto, paying homage to the 18th century model. And the chamber music qualities of the music are in constant dialogue with the orchestra. The adventurous violinist Pekka Kuusisto, principal guest conductor of the Deutsche Kammerfilharmonie in Bremen, conducts, and together with the soloist, conductor, and orchestra, they accomplish one thing and everything else. And by juxtaposing two contrasting works, they find new context and light, working with each other to deepen their understanding of each other, each clarifying, defining, and amplifying the other. Beethoven's performance of the Beethoven "in an uninhibited way, Flang's playing ideally captures the sound world of the concerto at the tip of Romanticism, while paying homage to the 18th century form of the solo part and breathing new life into its complex phrasing.She described Larghetto as a rhapsody rather than a hymn, establishing a sonata-like intimacy with the orchestra, filled with grace and delicacy," praised Warner Music Japan
