Bomsori plays Tsjajkovski

“She is in fact that rarest of musical creatures, blessed with the innate inability to take the mighty warhorse concertos and raise them to the next level”: unprecedented praise for Korean violinist Bomsori Kim (2015 Queen Elisabeth Competition for Violin). This superstar and central guest of the Elisabeth weekend will unleash her energy on Tchaikovsky’s moving Violin Concerto. Like his compatriot Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich drew on his personal experiences to compose his most successful music. His Symphony No. 10 is an intriguing work, imbued with musical irony, resonating with energy. Enjoy a world-class violinist in a programme full of Russian grandeur, just the perfect match for conductor Eliahu Inbal.
