Bristol Concert Orchestra: Beethoven Violin Concerto, Sibelius Symphony No.1 & Wagner
Bristol Concert Orchestra
Bristol Concert Orchestra • Eloisa-Fleur Thom (violin) • Stefan Hofkes (conductor)
Saturday 2 December, 2017
St George's Bristol, 7:30pm
Wagner Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg overture
Beethoven Violin Concerto
Sibelius Symphony No.1
As concert-openers go, they don't come much more rousing than the overture to Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg (Wagner's only comic opera). To follow, Beethoven's exquisite Violin Concerto - sometimes referred to as the 'Mount Everest' of Violin Concertos - and to scale the heights of this towering masterpiece, exceptional soloist Eloisa-Fleur Thom makes a welcome return.
To conclude, the first Symphony by one of the great symphonists of the twentieth century, but this is Sibelius with a Tchaikovsky sheen - youthful, exciting and rich in luscious melodies.
There will be a retiring collection for the Amber Trust.
