The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra Masterworks Diamond presents:
One of the most important and in-demand violinists in the world today. Augustin Hadelich makes his much-anticipated VSO return, performing maybe the most popular violin concerto ever written, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major.
Zemlinsky’s lavish, rarely-performed orchestral masterpiece The Mermaid is based on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale of the mermaid who sacrifices herself for an unrequited love, written by Zemlinsky after his rejection by Alma Schindler, in favour of her soon-to-be husband, the great composer Gustav Mahler. John Storgårds conductor.
