Concert

Violin Concerto No.2, Sz.112

Suite No.2, Op.4

Approved

In a memorable Prom in 2019, violinist Pekka Kuusisto took Sibelius’s Violin Concerto back to its roots in Finnish folk music. Now the dazzling, fearless Patricia Kopatchinskaja takes up the challenge, tracing the same evolution from traditional Hungarian songs and dances to Bartók’s Violin Concerto No. 2. The BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Ilan Volkov explore the rough-hewn rhythms and the lyrical melodies that unite Bartók’s Violin Concerto with the Magyar music that so fascinated the composer.
