6. Sinfoniekonzert

In the organizer's words:

Ludwig van Beethoven Coriolan Overture
Sergei Prokofiev Violin Concerto No. 2 in G minor op. 63
Peter I. Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 4 in F minor op. 60

Soloist: Michal Majersky (violin)
Conductor: Christopher Lichtenstein

With gripping dynamics and deep emotionality, the Coriolan Overture traces the dramatic story of the Roman hero Coriolanus, with Beethoven musically tracing the inner conflicts and tragic fate of the protagonist. Prokofiev's 2nd Violin Concerto combines lyrical, almost romantic passages with powerful, often unconventional rhythms and harmonic twists. It is a masterpiece of concerto literature. Tchaikovsky's Fourth is an emotional and passionate work.

The famous opening of the symphony, which is characterized by a sombre "fate motif", runs like a red thread through the work and reflects the composer's inner struggles.
