Leila Josefowicz
Tragedy, consolation and transcendence: these are the code words for this late-Romantic concert trip with top American conductor David Zinman. From Mahler there is his most haunting symphony, whose wistfully bobbing Adagietto does not leave a listener's eye dry. Before that, the phenomenal violinist Leila Josefowicz guarantees a wondrous rendition of Berg's Violin Concerto. Soulful melodies and gossamer orchestral colors, wrapped in music that wavers between Bach chorale and folk music: first-class emotion guaranteed.
