Copenhagen Soloists & Anna Markova

Oplev Beethovens legendariske violinkoncert og Mendelssohns fængende 4.

English text below

Beethovens violinkoncert står på toppen af det klassiske violinrepertoire. Koncerten er en udfordring for alle violinister, fordi den både er gennemsigtig i bedste klassisk forstand, mens dens symfoniske og brede opbygning kigger hen imod den romantiske periode. Violinsolisten er Anna Markova, som har ledet Copenhagen Soloists de seneste år.

Mendelssohns 4. symfoni er nok den mest populære af hans fem symfonier. Den er inspireret af komponistens tur til Italien og derfor kaldt 'den italienske'. Den indeholder en uimodståelig og sprællende livsglæde samt en lyrisk længsel.

Copenhagen Soloists har i 15 år opført musik på historisk-informeret vis på autentiske instrumenter. Orkestret begyndte i 2006 som ensemble med speciale i barok, men har siden udvidet repertoiret til wienerklassik og romantik.

Dirigent: Jonathan Ofir

Varighed: 2 timer inkl. pause.

Enjoy Beethoven’s legendary violin concerto and Mendelssohn’s vital 4th

Beethoven’s violin concerto stands at the top of the classical violin concerto repertoire. The concerto is a challenge for all violinists, because it is both transparent in the best classical sense, while its symphonic structure and wide development look towards the romantic period. The violin soloist is Anna Mrkova, who has led Copenhagen Soloists in the past few years.

Mendelssohn’s 4th symphony is probably the most popular of his five symphonies. It is inspired by the composer’s tour to Italy and known as the Italian. It contains an irresistible and bubbling joy, as well as a lyrical longing.

Copenhagen Soloists has over 15 years performed music in historically informed practice, on period instruments. It began in 2006 as an ensemble specializing in baroque, but has since widened the repertoire to classical and romantic.

Conductor: Jonathan Ofir
