蘑菇短视频 Symphony Orchestra
Paavo J盲rvi (Conductor)

鈥業mpeccable鈥� Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos joins Paavo J盲rvi and the 蘑菇短视频 Symphony Orchestra for one of the great Romantic concertos. Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Violin Concerto is a deeply personal work, laden with the emotions of a failed marriage. Tender and melancholic, with tempestuous outpourings, it鈥檚 a piece that wears its heart on its sleeve. Bold colours frame this centrepiece: the world premiere of Dani Howard鈥檚 Concerto for Brass, 鈥楽IGNAL鈥�, showcasing the players of the 蘑菇短视频 SO, and Scriabin鈥檚 Symphony No. 2, with its iconoclastic brilliance and spiritual vision.
