Overview
Litton Conducts Mahler
Andrew Litton, conductor
Vadim Gluzman, violin
KORNGOLD Violin Concerto in D major
MAHLER Symphony No. 7
Elaborate, lush and lyrical, Korngold’s Violin Concerto is famous for its neo-Romantic loveliness as well as its history. Marking the German composer’s return to the concert hall after more than a decade of film scoring, it bears notable influence from his Oscar-winning work in cinema. Symphony No. 7 by Mahler adds the finishing touch to this evocative and powerful evening.
