Work: Violin Concerto in E minor, Op.64

From Mendelssohn’s intimacy to Bruckner’s monumental scale, Eschenbach’s young orchestra reveals chamber-like sensitivity and steely discipline, with Midori’s interpretation standing as the evening’s emotional and artistic highlight.

Andris Nelsons shapes a Tanglewood evening of introspective reflections featuring music from Bach to Mahler.

Fragmentation to ritual: this was no Rite of Spring of two halves but a single, vast architectural crescendo.
