Eldbjørg Hemsing: Sjostakovitsj’ Fiolinkonsert Nr. 1 by Khachaturian, A., Shostakovich, Prokofiev, pá 17 lis 2023, Od (2023/2023), Dirigent Anna Rakitina, Den Norske Opera, Oslo, Norway

Formidable works from the 20th century The opera orchestra meets one of our leading young violinists in Shostakovich's first - in addition to taking masterpieces by Khachaturian and Prokofiev to the Main Stage. BUY Still young and promising Eldbjørg Hemsing became a household name for many when she made her debut as an 11-year-old with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. Today, she is considered one of the leading young violinists of her generation - with three award-winning albums and first performances in many of the world's most prestigious concert halls on her CV. Shostakovich's grandiose Violin Concerto No. 1 awaits when Hemsing returns to the Opera's main stage. She plays an Antonio Stradivari 'Rivaz, Baron Gutmann' violin from 1707, on loan from the Dextra Musica Foundation. Behind her is the Opera Orchestra - and at the conductor's podium stands the Russian-Ukrainian shooting star Anna Rakitina, whose career is about to take off completely. In addition to the violin concerto, the Opera Orchestra plays a couple of the most powerful symphonic works of the 1940s and 50s, signed by Khachaturian and Prokofiev. With two of the classical music world's most progressive women at the helm, the concert's three masterpieces are in the best hands.
