To hear Anthony Marwood play Korngold’s Violin Concerto genuinely as a concerto and not as film music was revelatory, and so was Chloé van Soeterstède’s conducting in two much-loved works by Debussy and Rachmaninov.
After COVID-related delays beginning in 2020, the ASO’s date with Pinchas Zukerman finally materialised and with it a most magical performance of the Beethoven Violin Concerto.
The ASO’s performance of all nine Beethoven symphonies has been an exhilarating journey for audiences, and it has shown just how closely an orchestra and conductor can work together in a shared vision when the combination fits.
The third instalment in the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra’s performance of Beethoven’s complete symphonies comprises two highly contrasting but captivating works.
The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra has kicked off its cycle of the complete Beethoven symphonies, with an epic performance of numbers one, two and three. Our reviewer was there to assess the beginning of the marathon of the maestro.
