Recorded live on 21 January 2022 at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. 

In his Violin Concerto, the world-famous American composer John Adams allowed melody back into his rhythmically pulsing music for the first time in years. And how! The solo violin threads one soaring melody to the next. Very few violinists are capable of performing this extremely difficult work. Fortunately, there’s Leila Josefowicz, a tireless champion of contemporary music, and above all a great violinist who never shirks from a challenge.

Bartók's Violin Concerto is one of the masterstrokes of 20th century violin repertoire.

It was written in 1938, at a time when the composer was devastated by the rise of fascism in Hungary, and the ethnic persecution and violence that accompanied it. Many have interpreted the piece as Bartók's final farewell to his homeland. Shortly after completing the concerto, Bartók fled to America with his wife. Neither of them ever returned home. The work is laden with deep emotion and full of allusions to the folk music he had studied on his travels around rural Hungary at the start of the 20th century.

 Ludwig van Beethoven's 'Eroica' Symphony is an epoch-defining work in the history of music. Through it, Beethoven struck a course through new and as yet uncharted territory in symphonic writing, the reverberations of which are still felt to this day. Napoleon himself was the figure who inspired the composition, but when he crowned himself Emperor Beethoven withdrew his dedication. The image of the hero still towers high above the piece, full of bravery and strength.

The concert begins with the world premiere of Veronique Vaka's Inmost, a piece written for chief conductor Eva Ollikainen. Violinist Leila Josefowicz is one of the world's leading musicians and has carved a unique place for herself through her interpretations of major works from the 20th and 21st centuries. She participates actively in the creation of new music, through commissions and collaborations with a wide range of composers. Josefowicz is artist-in-residence at the Iceland Symphony during the 2023-24 season and will appear twice with the orchestra, as well as giving a solo recital on the Friday Series this coming January.

English

ðlukonsert Béla Bartóks er eitt af stórvirkjum 20. aldarinnar fyrir hljóðfærið. Hann var saminn árið 1938, þegar tónskáldið var niðurbrotið yfir uppgangi fasismans í Ungverjalandi og þeim þjóðernisofsóknum og ofbeldi sem honum fylgdu. Hafa margir túlkað verkið sem einskonar hinstu kveðju Bartóks til ættjarðarinnar en skömmu eftir að hann lauk við konsertinn flúði hann ásamt konu sinni til Bandaríkjanna og auðnaðist þeim aldrei að snúa aftur heim. Verkið er þrungið sterkum tilfinningum og uppfullt af vísunum í þjóðlagaarfinn sem Bartók hafði rannsakað á ferðum sínum um sveitir Ungverjalands í upphafi tuttugustu aldarinnar.

Hetjuhljómkviða Ludwigs van Beethoven er eitt af tímamótaverkum tónlistarsögunnar. Með henni markaði Beethoven nýja og áður óþekkta braut í skrifum fyrir sinfóníuhljómsveit og gætir áhrifanna enn í dag. Innblásturinn að verkinu mun hafa verið sjálfur Napóleón, en þegar hann krýndi sig keisara dró Beethoven tileinkunnina til baka. Ímynd hetjunnar svífur þó greinilega yfir vötnum í verkinu, full af dirfsku og krafti. Í upphafi tónleikanna hljómar verk Veronique Vöku, Inmost, í fyrsta sinn á tónleikapalli, en verkið er samið fyrir Evu Ollikainen, aðalhljómsveitarstjóra Sinfóníuhljómsveitar Íslands.

Leila Josefowicz er á meðal fremstu fiðluleikara heims og hefur markað sér sérstöðu með flutningi helstu tónverka 20. og 21. aldar, auk þess sem hún tekur virkan þátt í frumsköpun nýrrar tónlistar með pöntunum og samstarfi við tónskáld úr ýmsum áttum. Josefowicz er staðarlistamaður hjá Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands starfsárið 2023–24 og kemur tvisvar fram með sveitinni, auk þess sem hún leikur einleikstónleika í föstudagsröðinni í janúar næstkomandi.
