BEETHOVEN'S VIOLIN CONCERTO
Grand Théâtre de Québec
BARTÓK, BIRTH OF THE CONCERTO FOR ORCHESTRA Under the fingers of virtuoso Vadim Gluzman, Beethoven's universal musical language is expressed in his vibrant Violin Concerto, which, after disconcerting its first listeners in 1806, has become one of the most emblematic 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 a major work from Bartók to support the composer through the hardships of his exile in the United States during World War II. He thus invented the genre of the Concerto for Orchestra, where each section becomes a soloist and embarks on a search for unexplored territories, leading to a breathtaking conclusive explosion.
