‘Poised and monstrously talented’ (Philadelphia Enquirer), the tremendous young violinist Benjamin Beilman joins the Auckland Philharmonia for what promises to be a definitive performance of the powerful, rugged concerto by Giordano Bellincampi’s compatriot, Carl Nielsen.
Studying in London, homesick, Douglas Lilburn wrote a tribute to the isolated farm in the Turakina Valley where he grew up; it’s incredible that this was a student work.
Mozart’s translucent, sunlit symphony rounds off the programme with weightless elegance.
