The program comprises Alexandre Tansman’s rhythmic Polish Rhapsody, inspired by the invasion of his homeland; Josef Tal’s dramatic Exodus, based on the Passover Haggadah; Walter Kaufmann’s Indian Symphony, written while in exile in Bombay; and Marcel Rubin’s melancholy Symphony No. 4, Dies irae, reflecting his experiences during the Second World War.

Violinist as Composer
Wednesday, May 8, 2024
Leon Botstein spotlights four European virtuoso violinists who were also major composers in their respective countries, yet are not household names elsewhere today. The program comprises Polish composer Grażyna Bacewicz’s contemplative Partita for Orchestra; Hungarian composer Joseph Joachim’s Variations for Violin and Orchestra; the New York City premiere of a recently discovered concerto by famed Belgian violinist and composer Eugène Ysaÿe; and the energetic and passionate Second Symphony of Romanian composer George Enescu.
