Program notes

One of the world's favorite violinists since before she was a teenager, the extraordinary Midori has only grown better over the decades — and here she brings her legendary talents to the spirited Slavic sounds of Dvořák's Violin Concerto at the Berlin Philharmonie alongside French conductor Marie Jacquot and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin! Jacquot also leads the orchestra in works by two women composers: Vivian Fung's 2018 Earworms, a commentary on the attention-demanding chaos of modern life, and Amy Beach's 1896 Gaelic Symphony in E minor, an immediate critical and popular hit that draws inspiration from Irish, Scottish, and English melodies.
