Beethoven's Violin Concerto
Grand Théâtre de Québec
BARTÓK, BIRTH OF THE CONCERTO FOR ORCHESTRAUnder the fingers of virtuoso Vadim Gluzman, Beethoven's universal musical language is expressed in his vibrant Violin Concerto, which, after bewildering its first listeners in 1806, has become one of the most iconic scores in the repertoire. Finally, it's time for "the best orchestral piece of the 20th century," according to the great conductor Serge Koussevitzky, who commissioned Bartók to create a major work to support the composer during his exile in the United States during World War II. He thus invented the Concerto for Orchestra genre, where each section becomes a soloist and explores uncharted territories, leading to a breathtaking conclusive explosion.
