Stravinsky & Tchaikovsky 4

Klaus Mäkelä is considered to be one of the most exciting upcoming conductors. With his sense of orchestral colour and nuance, he effortlessly gives shape to the widest imaginable range of emotions. Georges Enescu’s Romanian Rhapsody No. 1 is based on Romanian folk music, charming audiences with its rhythms and spontaneity. The piece begins with a rousing drinking song. In his neoclassical Violin Concerto in D, Stravinsky pulls out all the stops, not shying away from a certain display of virtuosity – a challenge that the highly praised Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang eagerly accepts. A chord that initially seemed impossible to the soloist at the time is the starting point of each movement. In Tchaikovsky’s highly personal Symphony No. 4, fate is lurking around the corner. The opening fanfare symbolises that power, laying an inescapable trail through the first movement.
