The cycle of the year, inspired by the composer鈥檚 immersion into Indian philosophy, is the backdrop to John Cage鈥檚 The Seasons, with each moment, from the austerity of winter to the stirring of spring, conjured up through vivid orchestral colours.
Julia Fischer then joins the orchestra in Beethoven鈥檚 Violin Concerto, and the concert ends with the Concerto for Orchestra by Bartok, in which every instrument and section shines, resulting in a joyful celebration of music and the collection of individuals that makes up the orchestra.
