Frank Peter ZIMMERMANN – violin
Conductor: Andris POGA
Programme:
William WALTON – Violin Concerto
Gustav MAHLER – Symphony No. 7
One of the most outstanding violinists of his generation, Frank Peter Zimmermann, returns to Latvia to perform with the LNSO, offering listeners his interpretation of the Violin Concerto by the 20th‑century British composer William Walton (whose string concertos are held in high esteem).
The second half features Mahler’s enigmatic Symphony No. 7 — a rarely performed work brought to life through the musical synergy of Andris Poga and the LNSO. Mahler’s Seventh Symphony was last heard in Latvia back in 1999 under the baton of Maestro Sinaisky.
