Furthermore, the Radio Filharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Vasily Petrenko, will perform Respighi and Rimsky-Korsakov. Noa Wildschut with Tchaikovsky Rome, the Russian countryside, and Arabia are the destinations of this concert. Noa Wildschut, the young but already highly successful top violinist and ECHO Rising Star for the 2019/2020 season, performs one of the most intimate solo works ever written for her instrument. Enjoying the summer tranquility in one of the country houses of his benefactor Nadezhda von Meck, Tchaikovsky composed a lovely three-part work for violin and piano that he considered a ‘memory of a dear place’. Glazunov later arranged it for violin and orchestra, which became just as popular as the original. Arabian tales and Roman fountains Rimsky-Korsakov’s destination is the exotic world of the Arabian tales collection “1001 Nights”. In his symphonic poem “Scheherazade”, the composer recounts some of the most beautiful stories from this famous collection through sound. The opening alone is striking, where the severe chords of the cruel sultan are softened by the sweet violin of the beautiful Scheherazade. But the journey begins in Rome, where Respighi with his “Fontane di Roma” leads the listener along some of the many fountains that adorn the city. The Radio Filharmonic Orchestra is conducted by the passionate Russian-English conductor Vasily Petrenko, a regular guest conductor of the orchestra for years. “Prelude” sets the stage for the AVROTROS Friday Concert. Presenter Leonard Evers tells you more about the special pieces that will be performed in this podcast every week. “Prelude” can be listened to from the Saturday before the concert.
