Suitable for General AudiencesThe Berliner Philharmoniker celebrate their founding day (May 1st, 1892) in a European city of cultural significance every year. In 2016, they travelled to Røros in Norway, to play in the town's beautiful baroque church. Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang made her debut with the Berliner Philharmonker at this year's concert, joining them for Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor.
"[Frang] is predictably fine in the Mendelssohn, technically accomplished and emotionally engaged. And what a joy it must be to play this concerto with the Berliners, whose sensitivity to Mendelssohn's instrumental imaginings is second to none...the performance [of the Eroica] yields nothing to Rattle's recent Berlin recording."
