Bruch Violin Concerto No.1
R. Schumann
Symphony No.3 ‘Rhenish’

 

The superstar violinist James Ehnes is absolutely not to be missed. His APO return with Bruch’s evergreen concerto- its dramatic opening and spirited finale- will be a highlight of the season.

Schumann’s ‘Rhenish’ Symphony was inspired by the countryside of the River Rhine and by Cologne Cathedral. It was a particularly happy time in Schumann’s life, and this shines through in buoyant, ebullient music.

In contrast, Strauss’s indescribably moving tone-poem for 23 solo strings is a lament for the destruction of civilised Germany during the Second World War.
