Authentizität: Vilde Frang spielt in Zürich Bartóks Zweites Violinkonzert

Von Thomas Schacher, 07 Februar 2024

Béla Bartóks Zweites Violinkonzert ist wegen seines sperrigen Charakters und seiner technischen Herausforderungen bei den Geigern nicht das beliebteste. Vilde Frang interpretiert es, als ob es für sie komponiert wäre.

Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony have made a partnership from playing with expectations, and this first of two Carnegie Hall concerts this season was yet another example of their craft.In a programme of Beethoven, Copland, and Steven Mackey, perhaps the most amazing subversion here was that by far the most interesting performance came in a Mozart piano concerto.

There is an electric guitar on stage at Boston's Symphony Hall, and it is not a Pops concert.John Harbison's Symphony no. 5 for baritone, mezzo-soprano and orchestra up-ends what we think of as a symphony, presenting the voice as an instrument and recalibrating the form.
