From start to finish one is wrapped about with the mysterious charm of the woods and forests. I could not tell you which movement I loved most, wrote Clara Schumann of Brahms Symphony No. 3 a work whose concealed musical motto, Free but happy, sets the tone for its striving energy and intimacy.
Grammy-winning violinist Augustin Hadelich is the soloist in Dvoráks Violin Concerto, whose forthright opening gives way to a luscious slow movement and, finally, a whirling dance of a rondo. Opening the Prom is Mendelssohns ever-popular concert overture The Hebrides, inspired by Scotlands rugged coastline. |
