Performance Notes | Dvoráks New World Symphony, with its wistful slow movement, is the centrepiece of the second concert from the Vienna Philharmonic a programme of Central European works that showcases the orchestras distinctively rich sound.
Andrés Orozco-Estrada pairs it with the composers colourful, folk-infused tone-poem The Noonday Witch, in which a mothers threats inadvertently summon a witch into her home. Cinematic drama is also a hallmark of Korngolds richly orchestrated and unashamedly romantic Violin Concerto, performed here by soloist Leonidas. |
