Violin sensation Ning Feng plays Brahms’ Violin Concerto – a luminous upbeat to Rachmaninoff at his stormiest.
“Vengeance is mine; I will repay…”. And taking his cue from those thunderous words, the young Rachmaninoff unleashed his tempestuous First Symphony. Dark, restless and blazing with passion, it’s a real gothic melodrama, so guest conductor Stanislav Kochanovsky is beginning with something very different - the sunlight and song of Brahms' lovely Violin Concerto, played by the “simply ravishing” (Gramophone) Ning Feng.
