Slavic Mysteries by Dvořák, Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff, Szymanowski, Alates (2018/2018), Dirigent Karina Canellakis, Oslo Concert Hall, Oslo, Norway

Karina Canellakis conducts music by Dvořák, Szymanowski and Rachmaninoff. Acclaimed violinist Nikolaj Znaider will be in Oslo to perform Szymanowski's mysterious and enigmatic, yet melodious, vibrant and beautiful Violin Concerto No. 2. We'll also meet the sinister and capricious Noonday Witch, here evoked through Dvořák's magical music. Rachmaninov's perhaps lesser known Symphonic Dances glows with energy, and adds to the mood of mystery in this programme. There are no mysteries surrounding conductor Karina Canellakis' talents, however: she has grown to be well-known for her intense, captivating interpretations.
