Enigma variations
Phion Orchestra conducted by Kerem Hasan - De Spiegel
Program Info: Phion Orchestra Kerem Hasan, conductor Maria Milstein, violin
From moving beauty and mysticism to a true violin concerto festival with no fewer than three different solo concerts from America Riddles
Orchestra Phion plays in riddles. The musicians do this under the direction of Kerem Hasan, who has been a successful guest at Phion several times in recent years. Charles Ives' The Unanswered Question is of moving beauty and mysticism . With heavenly harmonious strings, cutting dissonant winds and a searching trumpet, he poses the ultimate question about the meaning of human existence that is never answered. Elgar also hid a riddle in his Enigma Variations , but never gave the solution. However, we can also enjoy his most beloved work without that knowledge, in which he paints a portrait of his dearest friends with humour, but also with affection. Three violin concertos
Fortunately, there is nothing mysterious about the performance of violinist Maria Milstein. She makes it a true violin concerto party with no less than three different solo concertos from American soil that she plays alternately. What about the Violin Concerto by Hollywood's most famous film composer Korngold? Or the lyrical, but also extremely virtuoso Violin Concerto by Barber . But Bernstein's masterpiece West Side Story is also a must, in a beautiful arrangement for violin and string orchestra. That will be a difficult choice. But whatever your choice, with this winner of the Dutch Music Prize in 2018 it is always enjoyable.
