| Performance Notes | Maxim Vengerov, who is one of the worlds leading violinists for more than four decades, will consecrate a whole evening to the sublime music of one of the most important composers of all time.
On Vengerovs special request, rising star Sandra Lied Haga, well known to the London audience since her spectacular Wigmore Hall debut at the age of 12, will make her debut on the Royal Albert Hall stage. As the special guest of the evening, Haga will join Vengerov for the Double Concerto for Violin and Cello.
After hearing the young Norwegian cellist for the first time, Vengerov was simply overwhelmed saying:
Sandras tone is exquisite, rich, and extremely beautiful. Her playing is intelligent and deep-felt. This young lady surely is the future of cello playing.
As the cherry on the cake, Vengerov will give his audience a musical surprise together with some of his most promising students from the Royal College of Music. Marios Papadopoulos will be the conductor of the splendid Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra which has had a lasting and prolific performance history with Vengerov. Brahms at his best! |
