Beethoven Symphony No. 3 "Eroica"
Colorado Symphony Orchestra conducted by Markus Stenz - Boettcher Concert Hall
Program Info: Colorado Symphony Orchestra Markus Stenz, conductor James Ehnes, violin
But be sure to get to your seat early, or risk missing the elegant compositional voice of Louise Farrenc, Beethoven’s preeminent female contemporary, who was a tenacious advocate for women’s equality, often clashing with the authorities as she strove to earn pay equal to male counterparts. As a counterweight to these 1800s treasures, virtuoso James Ehnes showcases his talents in Korngold’s Violin Concerto, the late work of a prodigy whose music is usually heard on the silver screen, not in the concert hall. With its extraordinary sophistication and romantic energy so revered in Korngold’s film scores including “The Adventures of Robin Hood” and “The Sea Hawk”, the Violin Concerto calls on its soloist to display both extreme virtuosity and angelic lyricism in a cinematic adventure that transcends his Hollywood success and completes this picture-perfect program.
Louise Farrenc - Overture No. 1 in E minor, Op. 23 Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937) —INTERMISSION— Ludwig Van Beethoven - Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55, “Eroica”
