Weber Overture: Der Freischütz 10' Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor 29' Saint-Saëns Symphony No.3 in C minor, 'Organ' 37'
Louis Langrée conductor • Tasmin Little violin • Jonathan Scott organ
Featuring some of the most triumphant moments in the history of music, Saint-Saëns's entertaining 'Organ' Symphony pulls out all the stops in its heroic finale for massive orchestra, splashy piano duet and the mighty 'king of instruments'. Marvellously colourful and uninhibitedly flamboyant, it has listeners on the edges of their seats, it is conducted by the exciting Frenchman, Louis Langrée, 'youthful, limber, accomplished, full of ideas and tireless' (New York Times). Tasmin Little, who 'surely now ranks alongside the truly great performers of recent years' (The Strad), brings her searching style and tonal sweetness to Mendelssohn's songful Violin Concerto. Weber's revolutionary Overture lifts the curtain on a fantastic musical evocation of treachery, intrigue and magic bullets.
