Cristian Mandeal dirige Brahms — Con Viktoria Mullova

Leonid Kogan was one of the greatest violinists of the twentieth century, excelling in both chamber music and concerto repertoire. In this tribute to his extraordinary legacy, join one of his most accomplished former pupils, the violin virtuoso Viktoria Mullova — winner of the 1982 Tchaikovsky Competition — in Brahms’s Violin Concerto, the same composition that Kogan performed in his Russian debut at the age of 17 with the Moscow Philharmonic. At the Thessaloniki Concert Hall under the masterful baton of Romanian maestro Cristian Mandeal, the musicians also perform Brahms’s Symphony No. 1, a grand and majestic masterpiece which took over a decade to complete and built ingeniously on the Beethovenian tradition.
