"One of finest violin debuts of the last decade," wrote a critic from BBC Music Magazine of Johan Dalene's debut album. The Swedish virtuoso is only 22 years old and has already conquered the music world. The music magazine Gramophone put him on their list of ten classical artists who will shape music in the 21st century. In this concert Dalene performs the spectacular Korngold Violin Concerto, a captivating piece that shows all the best qualities of the soloist. 

Korngold had an active career as a film composer and the narrative power and colourful beauty of the Violin Concerto is easily a match for the cinematic medium when it comes to stimulating the listener's imagination. Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra is a no less inspired work. It makes relentless demands of every single player in the orchestra, bringing us everything from painful nostalgia to feisty dance movements. 

The opening piece on the concert is also one of imagination and energy: Samuel Barber's concert overture to Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play The School for Scandal. Barber wrote the piece while still a student, and it helped put the young composer on the map.

„Ein besta fiðlufrumraun áratugarins,“ sagði gagnrýnandi BBC Music Magazine um fyrsta geisladisk Johans Dalene, sænska fiðlusnillingsins sem er aðeins 22 ára að aldri en hefur þegar lagt tónlistarheiminn að fótum sér. Nýlega
valdi tónlistartímaritið Gramophone hann á lista tíu tónlistarmanna sem móta munu klassíska tónlist á 21. öldinni.

Á þessum tónleikum leikur Dalene hinn glæsilega fiðlukonsert Korngolds, hrífandi verk sem sýnir allar bestu hliðar einleikarans. Korngold var í aðra röndina kvikmyndatónskáld og má segja að frásagnargáfa og litadýrð fiðlukonserts hans gefi hinum myndræna miðli ekkert eftir þegar kemur að því að örva ímyndunaraflið.

Konsert Bartóks fyrir hljómsveit er sömuleiðis innblásið verk sem reynir á hvern einasta hljóðfæraleikara sveitarinnar og spannar allt frá tregablandinni angurværð til æsilegra danskafla. Upphafsverk tónleikanna býr einnig yfir hugmyndaauðgi og fjöri, en það er konsertforleikur Samuels Barber, saminn fyrir leikrit Richards Brinsley Sheridan, The School for Scandal. Barber samdi verkið meðan hann var enn við nám og hjálpaði það til við að koma tónskáldinu unga á kortið.
