Two composers whose oeuvres cross the boundaries of musical eras, a grandiose violin concerto and some monumental ballet music: these are what the BFO’s programme for tonight has to offer. Serving as the soloist for Beethoven’s lone violin concerto will be Alina Ibragimova, a versatile Russian artist with a repertoire ranging from the Baroque to brand new works who is equally at home on both period and modern instruments, earning praise from The Guardian for her direct and honest performances. Hungarian audiences may already be familiar with the sound of her 1775 Anselmo Bellosio violin, and not only from her award-winning recordings, as she took on Prokofiev’s D major concerto for the instrument together with the Budapest Festival Orchestra in 2022. Now she is returning to play the “king of all violin concertos”. After the interval comes a curiosity: Richard Strauss’s first completed ballet score, Josephslegende (“The Legend of Joseph”), relates the biblical story of Joseph and Potiphar’s wife.
