The Concert
Showpieces for the orchestra meet a dazzling concerto, brimming with characteristic Stravinsky flair and melody.

The Music
When Stravinsky met Dushkin, the first soloist of his Violin Concerto, he showed him a chord written on a napkin. This chord became what Stravinsky called the ‘passport’ for the work. It opens each movement, but the music that follows is different each time, from the lively opening and the melancholy Arias to the delicate finale.

Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra was one of his last works. It celebrates every single instrument of the orchestra in a remarkable journey from solemnity to joy.

The Performers
Susanna Mälkki is one of today’s most versatile conductors, very much at home with these 20th-century orchestral landmarks. Leila Josefowicz sparkles in Stravinsky’s Concerto.
