Program:
Ludwig van Beethoven / Violin Concerto Op. 61
Franz Schubert / Symphony Op. 3 D 200
Two faces of the 19th century compared: the classical tension that opens up to the future and the youthful freshness that looks to the past. Ludwig van Beethoven‘s Concerto in D major for violin and orchestra op. 61, written in 1806, is one of the peaks of the repertoire: solemn, lyrical, built on a rigorous balance that leaves room for moments of suspended poetry.
It is played by Kerson Leong, a Canadian violinist acclaimed for his intense sound, absolute control of the bow and ability to blend precision and expressive depth.
On the podium is Umberto Clerici, formerly first cello in Sydney and now principal conductor of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, a musician with a broad, physical, dynamic vision, capable of blending instinct and structure.
Franz Schubert’s Symphony No. 3 in D major D 200, composed at the age of eighteen, closes the concert: a sparkling and vital page, between Haydnian outbursts and melodies already unmistakably his own. A music that smiles with lightness and intelligence.
