Description
Norwegian violin star Vilde Frang makes her debut at Beethovenfest – a musician renowned for the finesse of her sound. Under her bow, the Beethoven Violin Concerto sounds candid and almost delicate. Alongside her will be the internationally acclaimed London Symphony Orchestra under the direction of chief conductor Antonio Pappano – a dream cast for Tchaikovsky’s passionate Fifth.
