Masterworks 6: Eckart Returns

ECKART PREU, CONDUCTOR 
MATEUSZ WOLSKI, VIOLIN

Conductor Laureate Eckart Preu (2004-19) returns to conduct Barber and Bruckner. Concertmaster Mateusz Wolski performs Barber’s Violin Concerto, an American masterpiece that blends melodic charm with virtuosic fire. Anton Bruckner, deeply religious and shy, so lacked in confidence that he allowed his friends to “improve” his music. Since the original versions came to light, we see what an incredible talent he really was. What his friends considered naive music now stands as towering works, often described as “cathedrals in sound.” His Fourth Symphony, “Romantic,” seems to conjure up the old folk tales of the Austrian forest, with horn calls, songs, prayers, forest murmurs, birdsong and hunts.

THE MUSIC

Samuel Barber — Violin Concerto

Anton Bruckner — Symphony No. 4, Romantic
