He has played for three American presidents, the Supreme Court of the United States and has performed at the World Economic Forum—though thus far, at least, superstar Joshua Bell has not been invited to conduct the renowned political gathering. In Berlin, he’ll work as »playing conductor« with the 100-member DSO for the first time. Just one practical problem: what will he do with the Stradivarius violin, which is worth millions? »When I’m conducting, I keep the violin in one hand and conduct with my bow,« he laughs.
The Bamberger Symphoniker, whose Chief Conductor is Jakub Hrůša, has affectionately entitled its season “What we love.” And Hrůša loves the Eastern European canon, so he will present a trio of Eastern European composers (from the Czech Republic and Poland) in Munich: Janáček, Wieniawski, and Lutosławski. “When we love something, when we are really convinced of something, our natural impulse is to share it with others,” says Hrůša regarding Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra, a major work from the 1950s that was celebrated already at its premiere. There is also music from Osud, which is peppered with melodies typical of Janáček. And between those works is the impressive, romantic Second Violin Concerto, with which Wieniawski has captivated the greatest violinists in history – including Joshua Bell.

»I’m in love with Dvořák’s Violin Concerto and I don’t see that changing in the foreseeable future.« With this declaration of love, star violinist Joshua Bell takes the wind out of the sails of all those who think you only need to know the Bohemian composer’s – undeniably wonderful – Cello Concerto. In fact, the Violin Concerto offers everything you could wish for in a great evening at the Elbphilharmonie: melting melodies, highly virtuosic splendour, rousing dances. The Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia accompanies this enchanting work with Gustav Mahler’s First Symphony – a gathering of classical music masters!
