Commissioned jointly by the Munich Philharmonic, the Paris Philharmonic and the Elbphilharmonie, Thierry Escaich composed a new violin concerto for his compatriot Renaud Capuçon. Escaich’s love of groove explains the energy that fills his works. Anton Bruckner’s opus is characterised not so much by the driving force of rhythm as by the art of transition and development. His symphony in E-flat major, with its suggestive, even emblematic beginning, the otherworldly horn theme over a mystical carpet of strings, has had a lasting influence on the idea of what constitutes the “romantic” in music.
