Ticciati & Frang
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
She resembles a Nordic pixie: fresh-faced, fair complexion, flaxen hair, dark eyes. For good measure, the Norwegian violinist answers to the name Vilde, derived from »alfr« (elf) and »hildr«(battle). And in fact she’ll have both within her when she tackles Elgar’s Violin Concerto. After all, the work is neither for the faint-hearted nor for those afraid of heights. Extremely high notes, gruelling arabesques and arpeggios … a sensational experience in the Berliner Philharmonie.
