Sakari Oramo conducts Brahms’s epic First Symphony, and joins Korean violin phenomenon Inmo Yang in Bartók’s impassioned First Violin Concerto.
Sakari Oramo
Inmo Yang, violin
BBC Symphony Orchestra
George Enescu Rhapsody No. 1 in A major, from ‘Two Romanian Rhapsodies, Op. 11’
Bela Bartók Violin Concerto No. 1
Johannes Brahms Symphony No .1
Joy, longing, and the kind of sorrow so bitter it turns into sweetness – you never know what a human heart can bear until you put it to the test. The young Bartók poured all the pain of a doomed romance into his fiery First Violin Concerto. Brahms, meanwhile, wrestled for years with a symphony that transformed personal tragedy into a triumph of hope, crowned with a melody to stir the soul.
Pure passion, in other words, from Sakari Oramo and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and that goes double when the multi-award winning violinist Inmo Yang performs Bartók’s searing concerto. First, though, a burst of joy from the Carpathian mountains. Enescu’s exuberant Romanian Rhapsody begins with a drinking song and ends with a knees-up. Sakari Oramo loves it, and you’re about to hear why.
