Performer: Leila Josefowicz

Matthias Pintscher wusste als dirigierender Komponist zusammen mit Leila Josefowicz, der außergewöhnlichen Solistin seines Violinkonzerts und dem RCO Beeindruckendes auf die Bühne zu bringen.

Das Finnische Radio-Sinfonieorchester unter Hannu Lintu beginnt seine Tournee mit einer österreichischen Erstaufführung.

Familiar and unfamiliar Sibelius, a coruscating violin concerto and a recent score by Caroline Shaw are the elements of Dalia Stasevska’s noteworthy debut.

Stepping in for an indisposed Marta Gardolińska, the guest conductor leads a virtuosic performance of Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra paired with Leila Josefowičz playing Szymanowski’s Second Violin Concerto.

Leila Josefowicz’s clear and incisive tones sears through thickets of dissonance in Alban Berg's Violin Concerto, “To the Memory of an Angel”. 

By the close of the performance, one sensed that the audience’s exhilaration stemmed less from polished execution and more from a shared immersion in the music’s dramatic arc—elements that lingered as the defining memory of this eventful evening.
