FRANG — FRANKFURT RADIO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA — ALTINOGLU

Internationally celebrated for her impressive virtuosity and unique temperament, Vilde Frang is one of the most sought-after violinists of our time. The Neue Zürcher Zeitung aptly described the performance of the Norwegian as playing "with her hand in the socket." This passionate approach is a perfect fit for Bartók's Second Violin Concerto, which blends its classical structure with an electrifying stylistic diversity. In Dresden, the consummate musician will perform with the hr-Sinfonieorchester, undoubtedly one of Germany's finest orchestras. Together with their French chief conductor, Alain Altinoglu, the Frankfurt-based musicians will interpret one of the most brilliant symphonic works in the second half of the concert: Brahms's Symphony No. 4. After its premiere, the work initially faced some resistance, as its opening seemed somewhat abstract to contemporaries. Today, however, it is precisely this poetic beginning, the exuberant joy of the third movement, and the celebratory finale that make the Fourth one of the most popular symphonies of all time.
