Approved

The concert begins with the Sérénade mélancolique written for the Hungarian violinist Leopold Auer, who was professor of violin at the Imperial Conservatory in Saint Petersburg from 1868. Tchaikovsky was a professor at the Moscow Conservatory from 1866 and must have known Auer by virtue of his reputation as a violinist. Then the trip to Spain with the Carmen fantasy, which is one of Sarasate's best-known works – a work full of temperament and real passion inspired by the opera Carmen. It is considered one of the most challenging and technically demanding pieces for the violin. After Elgar's beautiful Salut d'amour, the concert ends with Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream, which was written for a romantic comedy by William Shakespeare of the same name. This became one of Mendelssohn's most popular works and has since been performed countless times around the world.

English

Koncerten indledes med Sérénade mélancolique skrevet til den ungarske violinist Leopold Auer, som var professor i violin ved det kejserlige konservatorium i Sankt Petersborg fra 1868. Tjajkovskij var professor ved Moskva-konservatoriet fra 1866 og må have kendt Auer i kraft af hans ry som violinist. Herefter går turen til Spanien med Carmen fantasien, som er et af Sarasates kendeste værker – et værk fuld af temperament og ægte passion inspireret af operaen Carmen. Det betragtes som et af de mest udfordrende og teknisk krævende stykker for violin. Efter Elgars smukke Salut d’amour afsluttes koncerten med Mendelssohns En skærsommernatsdrøm, som blev skrevet til en romantisk komedie af William Shakespeare af samme navn. Dette blev et af Mendelssohns mest populære værker og er siden opført utallige gange verden over.
