Concert Information
Written on the brink of the Second World War, Barber’s sumptuous Violin Concerto had a difficult genesis but is now adored as one of the most popular in the repertoire. Here, former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Elena Urioste brings it to life. Conductor Richard Farnes frames it with music from the North: Franz Berwald’s warm, surging Third symphony, a precursor of Sibelius, whose incidental music for Maeterlinck’s famous symbolist drama raises the curtain. Live broadcast on BBC Radio 3, presented by Kate Molleson.
