Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings
Béla Bartók Romanian Folk Dances
Felix Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Serenade for Strings
Antje Weithaas director/violin
Royal Northern Sinfonia
Bartók’s Romanian Folk Dances are a fusion of folk energy and wistfulness, with a bit of classical elegance. Mendelssohn’s almost relentlessly emotional Violin Concerto is a piece that’s absolutely packed with earworms that’ll get lodged in your head for days. To finish we have Tchaikovsky’s Serenade – lush, indulgent and heartfelt.
