Chamber Orchestra of Europe in Paris
One of the most promising young violinists, Valeriy Sokolov, and one of the most prestigious chamber orchestras, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, play under the baton of Vladimir Ashkenazy at the Cité de la musique in Paris. This concert captures Sokolov’s collaboration with Ashkenazy, an established conductor who himself has been a major soloist for the past half-century, in one of the most demanding pieces of the violin repertoire Sibelius’ Violin Concerto. This masterpiece is supplemented by Sibelius’ Valse Triste, his Rakastava and Schumann’s Symphony No. 2.
