Alexandre da Costa - Violin Concerto / Symphony No 7 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Violin Concerto is the most intimate of Beethoven's instrumental works. The cadenzas, from the hand of Russian-Canadian Airat Ichmouratov, take pride of place in this interpretation. A clarinetist and conductor in his own right, Ichmouratov connects with Beethoven's vision of a world made limitless through the spirituality of art and faith. He transforms Beethoven's music incorporating classical music, klezmer and folklore from the four corners of the world all enter into the visionary improvisation based on the substance of Beethoven's musical center.
