Christian Kluxen conductor
Terence Tam violin *
Unsuk Chin Subito con forza
Bartók Violin Concerto No. 2 *
Beethoven Symphony No. 3 “Eroica”

Three heroic works are featured, beginning with Subito conforza, by South Korea’s Unsuk Chin. Her orchestral miniature, is “haunted by Beethovenian gestures…amid Chin’s own exquisite orchestral palette – icy shivers of strings, rasping woodwind and ghostly muted trumpets” (The Guardian). In producing his Violin Concerto No. 2, Bartók followed in the footsteps of Beethoven and Brahms with a work that quickly became championed by Yehudi Menuhin – here played by the
VS’s Concertmaster Terence Tam. Beethoven’s monumental Third Symphony was bigger and longer than anything that preceded it – and it remains a colossus of the musical literature.
