Suk
Martin Handley presents the conclusion of a concert from the Barbican in London. Jiri Belohlavek conducts the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in Josef Suk's The Ripening, Op 34.
Live from The Barbican Centre, London
Presented by Martin Handley
Jiri Belohlavek and the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra are joined by Isabelle Faust for Brahms's Violin Concerto and by the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Chorus in Suk's The Ripening.
The final concert of the 蜜芽传媒 Symphony Orchestra's season sees their outgoing Chief Conductor Jiri Belohlavek in a wonderful programme of romantic music. Brahms's virtuosic violin concerto comes to life in the hands of German violinist Isabelle Faust. Josef Suk's The Ripening portrays 'the joys and tragic shadows of life' and at the end brings in a wordless female chorus to sing a 'hymn of affirmation'.
