In a memorable Prom in 2019, violinist Pekka Kuusisto took Sibelius鈥檚 Violin Concerto back to its roots in Finnish folk music. Now another chance to hear a performance from the 2021 Proms, as the dazzling, fearless Patricia Kopatchinskaja takes up the challenge of tracing the same evolution from traditional Hungarian songs and dances to Bart贸k鈥檚 Violin Concerto No. 2. The 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Ilan Volkov explore the rough-hewn rhythms and the lyrical melodies that unite Bart贸k鈥檚 Violin Concerto with the Magyar music that so fascinated the composer.
