Karina Canellakis & Radio Filharmonisch Orkest | Christian Tetzlaff spielt Beethoven Violinkonzert

In the organizer's words:

This evening, Christian Tetzlaff devotes himself to a repertoire favorite: Beethoven's Violin Concerto. BR had this to say about Christian Tetzlaff's recording of this work: "Tetzlaff takes a great deal of freedom in shaping the solo part, allowing himself time for Beethoven's wide-ranging melodic arcs. Nevertheless, he always keeps the musical development flowing - a small feat."

So we can look forward to Tetzlaff's interpretation with the Radio Filharmonisch Orkest and its young chief conductor. The American conductor Karina Canellakis has been at the helm of the orchestra since 2019. She is currently one of the most sought-after conductors and is making her Dortmund debut.

After the interval, Olivier Messiaen's "Les offrandes oubliées" - his first major orchestral work - invites you to discover everything from elegiac string sounds and a frenetic orchestral roar to the great reconciliation in the last movement. Debussy's symphonic poem "La Mer" is just as colorful, describing the play of the elements on the ocean from dawn over the sea to stormy seas.
