Violinist Simone Lamsma is our special guest this season, she comes with Korngold's cinematic Violin Concerto . The orchestra will also play the Suite from "Der Rosenkavalier," in which Strauss dreams of eighteenth-century Vienna.

Simone Lamsma in Korngold's Violin Concerto
Simone Lamsma is one of those violin talents of which there are very few. For example, she was the youngest student ever to be admitted to the Bachelor of the Royal Academy of Music in London. This morning she plays Korngold's
Violin Concerto. Fleeing the Nazis, Korngold migrated from Austria to America, where he became the greatest film composer of Hollywood's "Golden Age. After the war, he set his sights back on the concert hall, resulting in the lyrical Violin Concerto. Between Richard Strauss and Hollywood, that's how you could characterize this wonderful music.

Strauss' Rosenkavalier Suite
In the
Suite from "Der Rosenkavalier," Richard Strauss dreams of eighteenth-century Vienna. The suite opens with a passionate night between two of the protagonists. This is followed by tender love, dashing Viennese waltzes and ecstatic highs. Strauss composed music with a twinkle in his eye, of the highest level, and with an unsuspected depth.
