Louis Langrée leads a lyrical night of Austrian and German delights, including Mendelssohn’s ingenious Violin Concerto with Marc Bouchkov.

When Bouchkov performs “he doesn’t only serve us a prepared version of a piece, but tells us a story with it in the heat of the moment” (Violinist.com). Hear him chronicling the work that’s been a hit since 1845, following The Hebrides—Mendelssohn’s majestic adventure to the dark, coastal caves of Scotland.

Haydn’s Symphony No. 104 was the final symphony of his career and named after the city that treated him like a rock star. Full of charging joy, dark drama, and a potpourri of folk tunes, the “London” Symphony is simply sensational, with melodies that Haydn contemporary Charles Burney described as “such as were never heard before, of any mortal’s production.”

This performance is generously supported in part by the Kohl Virtuoso Violin Fund.
