At the Heart of a Life’s Work
Concerto Budapest presents a program filled with works that held deep personal significance for their composers. Schubert’s sunlit Symphony No. 3 was written during one of the most prolific years of his life. Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor became so influential in the violin concerto repertoire that many are unaware he composed another concerto for violin at all. And it’s no wonder—this E minor concerto is a genuinely passionate work, infused with sincere emotion, dazzling virtuosity, and uplifting energy. The soloist for this performance is Grammy Award-winning violinist Augustin Hadelich, a celebrated guest in the world’s greatest concert halls. In conductor András Keller, himself a violinist, he finds a worthy musical partner. The concert closes with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 4, a work the composer himself was particularly proud of—one that marked a milestone in his creative career. This is the first of Tchaikovsky’s so-called "fate symphonies," in which he confronts his personal destiny. The emotional material for the symphony was drawn from his own life, particularly his brief and ill-fated marriage. Yet during this same period, he also found an important patron and correspondent, to whom he gave detailed insight into the background of the symphony. The work captures a profound duality between the inescapability of fate and the significance of struggling against it.
