The Concert
Violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja revels in a modernist masterwork, before Rachmaninoff’s tempestuous Symphony No 2, full of Romantic ardour.
The Music
Hungarian composer Márton Illés’ violin concerto Vont-tér is an ethereal, playful work of kaleidoscopic sounds and effects.
The contrasting second half features Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No 2, the greatest and most beautiful of the Russian composer’s three symphonies, with a central Adagio to melt the heart.
The Performers
This concert is part of the LSO’s Artist Portrait series as Patricia Kopatchinskaja revisits Vont-tér, a work she premiered with the WDR Symphony Orchestra back in 2020.
Conducting the LSO in this and Rachmaninoff’s soaring masterwork is the American Robert Treviño.
