Abstract
Paganini / Strauss
"A captivating artist: at times lovely, then upsetting, sometimes plain, then flowery again - and always controlled", so The Boston Globe described the game of the Korean violinist InMo Yang, who won the first prize at the prestigious Paganini Competition in Genoa in 2015. Since then the artist performs in the great halls worldwide; 2016 he gave his debut at Carnegie Hall, New York in 2016. Together with Fabio Luisi and the Philharmonia Zurich the young, talented artist will interpret the First Violin Concerto by Paganini.
Repeatedly the devilishly difficult virtuoso gesture flashes by in this 1818 enden concert that made the violinist Paganini a legend. Virtuoso passages for each orchestra offer the tone poems of Richard Strauss: With Don Juan concert a big cast of the only 24-year-old composer is on the program. The ten years later resulting work Ein Heldleben is one of the most mature and most performed symphonic poems by Strauss.
