Maverick Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto made a memorable Proms debut in 2016. Now he returns to premiere a new violin concerto written especially for him by award-winning young British composer Philip Venables. The piece grows out of a recording the composer found of himself as a teenager playing one of Bartok鈥檚 Hungarian Sketches to his teacher鈥檚 teacher, Rudolf Botta, a Hungarian refugee 鈥� and the journey that ensued.
The concerto is framed by two works suffused with sunny optimism 鈥� Elgar鈥檚 lovely Introduction and Allegro for strings and Prokofiev鈥檚 Fifth Symphony, a piece that rejoices in 鈥榯he strength and beauty of the human spirit鈥�.
