Wagner (arr. de Vlieger): Meistersinger - An Orchestral Tribute

Benjamin Beilman (violin)
大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Antony Hermus (conductor)

Dutch composer Henk de Vlieger has made an art of orchestral compilations drawn from the operatic works of Wagner, selecting the most important fragments of these operas and placing them in a new symphonic context. In tonight's concert the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Antony Hermus explore his transformation of Wagner's comic opera Die Meistersinger von N眉rnberg into an 11-part symphony. By way of prelude the orchestra are joined by "monstrously talented" violinist Benjamin Beilman to perform Korngold's Violin Concerto of 1945, a work imbued with cinematic melodies from a golden era of Hollywood.
