FABIO LUISI conducts
NICOLA BENEDETTI violin
JAMES MACMILLAN Violin Concerto No. 2 | U.S. Premiere
BRUCKNER Symphony No. 4
Benedetti’s innate musicianship and spirited presence makes her one of the most sought-after violinists today, coupled with the pre-eminent Scottish composer of his generation, James MacMillan’s music combines rhythmic excitement, raw emotional power and spiritual meditation. The Guardian described MacMillan as, “…a composer so confident of his own musical language that he makes it instantly communicative to his listeners.”
The piece pairs perfectly with Bruckner Symphony No. 4, an ethereal journey that is romantic, lusicous and deeply spiritual. Join Fabio Luisi and the DSO as they bring the “Romantic” tale hidden in its music to life.
