Five soft drumbeats and a restrained orchestral introduction usher in a violin concerto full of timeless lyricism. Three ominous series of brass chords signal the coming symphony will not escape the grip of fate. Ludwig van Beethoven and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, the masters of opening bars? With two of their tours de force, Alain Altinoglu, the La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra and violinist Christian Tetzlaff are sure to keep you spellbound until the very last note as well.
