Michael Barenboim plays Bartók's Second Violin Concerto in Liverpool

Michael Barenboim is the soloist in Bartók's second violin concerto, performed alongside Kodály's Dances of Galánta and Dvořák's Seventh Symphony.

Fiery folk tunes meet the orchestra – conductor Domingo Hindoyan dives deep into a whirlwind of colour and rhythm, straight from the untamed musical imagination of Zoltán Kodály. A different kind of passion drives Bartók’s Second Violin Concerto, and violinist Michael Barenboim is just the artist to uncover both its poetry and its inner fire. Meanwhile, if you enjoy Dvořák’s ‘New World’ symphony, you simply have to hear the Seventh. This tempestuous portrait of a nation awakening to freedom packs a serious emotional punch.

Recorded at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on 6th February 2025.

Presented by Penny Gore.
