Mozart 39
Conductor Giordano Bellincampi
Violin Benjamin Beilman
Lilburn Drysdale Overture
Nielsen Violin Concerto
Mozart Symphony No.39
‘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.
