Kölner Philharmonie (Köln)
Antoine Tamestit (Viola), WDR Sinfonieorchester (Ensemble), Marie Jacquot (Conductor)
The viola rarely gets the spotlight, unlike its higher-pitched sibling, the violin. William Walton's concerto gives it a chance to shine. The solo instrument's warm tone blends with a colorful orchestral part, also featured in Liadov's shimmering "Enchanted Lake" and Stravinsky's ballet "Petrushka." Marie Jacquot, designated chief conductor of the WDR Symphony Orchestra, brings these fairytale sounds to life.
