Dresdner Musikfestspiele: Musical summit meeting — Hahn, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Sokhiev
About the Event
Hardly any other orchestra is as closely linked to the history and tradition of European music as the Vienna Philharmonic. When this exceptional orchestra, now conducted by Tugan Sokhiev—recently praised by the press as brilliant, serious, and highly musical—travels to Dresden with the charismatic American star violinist Hilary Hahn as soloist, a true dream combination can be experienced at the Kulturpalast. The musicians have two highlights of the Romantic repertoire in their repertoire: Dvořák's violin concerto, with its direct use of the violin, which was unusual for its time, already thrilled audiences at its premiere in 1883 – a masterpiece for three‐time Grammy winner Hahn. And what better way to end the evening than with excerpts from Prokofiev's “Romeo and Juliet,” one of the most important ballets ever written, with its beguiling melodic richness.
