Brahms’s Violin Concerto, one of the cornerstones of the violin repertoire, owes a great deal to the concertos of Bach and Beethoven: much of the violin’s passagework brings to mind Bach’s solo sonatas, and the elaboration of the orchestra’s tunes by the soloist is reminiscent of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. Although not one of the most dramatically virtuosic concertos, the solo part brings out the best qualities of the instrument, from mellow lyricism to sparkling technical display. Beethoven’s power of invention makes up the first half of the programme with one of the composer’s most light-hearted symphonies, full of structural surprises and musical jokes; Krzysztof Urbański, winner of the Prague Spring International Conducting Competition, is sure to bring his youthful dynamicism to bear on this performance.
