Program
Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto is considered essential for any international soloist and it is also one of the most popular and most loved by audiences. On this occasion we are privileged to have Canadian violinist James Ehnes with us, who recorded this concert in 2010 and has performed it at prestigious venues around the world.Juanjo Mena is enjoying a flourishing international career and we have invited him back to conduct the OBC and to repeat the successes achieved in his previous seasons at L’Auditori. This time he brings us Bruckner’s Sixth Symphony, a rich, expressive, brilliant work full of beautiful melodies. This is undoubtedly the most dazzling work of the “builder of cathedrals of sound.”
