Los Angeles Philharmonic - Composer Salonen: Violin Concerto at Walt Disney Concert Hall

Why see Los Angeles Philharmonic - Composer Salonen: Violin Concerto?

Esa-Pekka Salonen Returns To Conduct His Violin Concerto

Once the well-respected musical director of the LA Philharmonic Orchestra, Esa-Pekka Salonen marks a triumphant return to conduct a series of his very own concertos. The second in the series features his Violin Concerto and American-Canadian virtuoso violinist Leila Josefowicz, the performer for which he wrote it.

Finished in 2009, Salonen's only concerto for violin was immediately praised as one of his major works. A collaboration between himself and Josefowicz, the piece was written just as the composer's 17 year tenure at the LA Philharmonic and is a poignant summing up of everything he learnt during his time with the world class orchestra - it encompasses moods and technique from incredibly technical and flashy, to brutally aggressive, to soft meditative stillness and warm nostalgia.

Biber: Battalia
Salonen - Violin Concerto
