Following their Frankfurt concert, the hr-Symphony Orchestra, with former principal conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada and star violinist Hilary Hahn, will perform at the Dortmund Concert Hall. The same passionate program featuring works by Smetana, Strauss, and Tchaikovsky will be presented. Hilary Hahn will perform Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto instead of the Brahms Concerto.
Star violinist and former principal conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada present a concert featuring Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto instead of the initially planned Brahms concerto, alongside Richard Strauss's "Death and Transfiguration" and Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet" Fantasy Overture. The concert explores themes of love, death, and transfiguration, showcasing the soloist's virtuosity and expressive power. The concert duration is approximately 120 minutes including intermission.
Andrés Orozco-Estrada, the principal conductor of the Vienna Symphony, has already performed Beethoven’s Triple Concerto with the BRSO. Now his programme includes Brahms’s Double Concerto. The special form of a concerto for multiple soloists seems to be at once a challenge and a matter close to his heart. Violinist Renaud Capuçon and cellist Daniel Müller-Schott are the protagonists in Brahms’s “work of reconciliation”. Originally conceived as a cello concerto, Brahms later gave his Op. 102 a part for solo violin, hoping it would help him to re-establish contact with the famous violinist Joseph Joachim. For years the two men had fallen out after Brahms took sides with Joachim’s wife during a marital rift. The concerto was meant to revive the deep friendship the two men had enjoyed for many years. Orozco-Estrada will also conduct Bartók’s suite from The Miraculous Mandarin (1928) and Blacher’s Paganini Variations (1947).
