Paavo Järvi Conducts Britten and Prokofiev by Tormis, Britten, Prokofiev, Ab (2023/2023), Dirigat Paavo Järvi, David Geffen Hall (Lincoln Center), New York City, Vereinigte Staaten

Alena Baeva makes her NY Phil debut in Britten’s soaring, elegiac Violin Concerto. Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi returns; the concert leaps from the starting line with a high-speed overture by his countryman Veljo Tormis, and ends with Prokofiev’s Sixth Symphony, a meditation on the profound losses of the Second World War.
