James Ehnes performs Brahms’ Violin Concerto presented by Sydney Symphony Orchestra tickets
About James Ehnes performs Brahms’ Violin Concerto
The Times (London) declares Ehnes as being ‘in a class of his own.’ He’s one of the greatest violinists in the world, his performances praised for their astounding lyricism and beauty.
Rising star Finnegan Downie Dear, a protégé of Simone Young, conducts Ehnes in this concert of evocative works by master storytellers. He takes us from the Hungarian folk music-infused passages of Brahms’ concerto to Rimsky-Korsakov’s spirited Capriccio espagnol, complete with violins and cellos imitating Spanish guitars.
And kicking off a year of celebrations for the 150th birthday of the great French composer Maurice Ravel (born 7 March 1875), his Mother Goose – with its cast of fairy-tale characters including Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb and Beauty and the Beast – captures his trademark charm and rich orchestral colour.
