Britten, Walton, Beethoven

Saturday, November 10, 2012

Wagner called Beethoven's Seventh Symphony "the apotheosis of the dance," an apt description given its exuberant rhythms and elegant, carefree lines. Charles Dutoit pairs this symphony with two English masterpieces: Britten's The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, spirited showcase that is an ideal vehicle for the extraordinary musicianship of the CSO members, and Walton’s lusciously orchestrated Violin Concerto, featuring soloist Gil Shaham.

Gil Shaham discusses the Walton Violin Concerto—Watch Now!
