Dance-like – Dvořák & Prokofjew
James Ehnes | WDR Sinfonieorchester | Juraj Valčuha

Experience one of the greatest violinists of our time: James Ehnes, celebrated for his admirable virtuosity and profound musicality. The Canadian musician dedicates himself to Dvořák's violin concerto, which combines Romanticism and Bohemian folk music in perfect balance. Zoltán Kodály's »Dances of Galánta’«sound similar in character with their blazing Hungarian temperament. The programme, conducted by Slovakian Juraj Valčuha, is rounded off by Prokofiev's last symphony, in which melancholic depth and powerful drama merge into an unforgettable soundscape – music that is guaranteed to give you goose bumps.
