Why see Toronto Symphony Orchestra - Tchaikovsky and Brahms?
Frank Peter Zimmerman Stars
The exceptionally accomplished German violinist Frank Peter Zimmerman stars in this breathtaking concert from Toronto Symphony Orchestra, with Zimmerman displaying his magnificent skill during a performance of Brahms' fervent Violin Concerto. Also joining the orchestra are the players of the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra to perform Tchaikovsky's rousing Fourth Symphony, while two TSO commissions from Julia Mermelstein and Christina Volpini will be premiered.
A piece that is firmly in every world class soloist's repertoire, Brahms' Violin Concerto contains a silken Adagio with movements so exquisite its said to have brought its first audiences to tears. As four Tchaikovsky's Fourth, standing as one of the pinnacles of Romanticism, this epic four-part reflection on fate is an emotive wonder, widely regarded as one of his greatest works.
