Programme Note
Yury Revich, the internationally-acclaimed star violinist, returns to London Firebird to play his annual concerto concert.
This season Yury is playing Mozart’s charming Violin Concerto no. 3 which the composer wrote in 1775, at the age of 19.
In a letter to his father Leopold, Mozart referred to this piece as the Strassburg Concerto, probably because of a local Strasbourger dance theme which features in the third movement.
Drama and capricious virtuosity follow in Saint-Saëns Introduction & Rondo Capricioso for Solo Violin and Orchestra.
In the second half we hear Beethoven’s mighty Eroica Symphony sometimes considered to be the first romantic symphony and filled with rousing melodies.
Yury Revich is a winner of both ECHO Classic and International Classical Music Awards and enjoys a busy international schedule of concerts and concertos across the globe. He has performed each season with Firebird since 2019.
