· Dmitry Kabalevsky's three act opera Colas Breugnon was
written between 1936 and 1938 is based on the story of a
sculptor who is recalling his experiences at the end of his
life. While the opera is rarely performed in its entirety, the
overture has found its way into the repertoire staples.
·
The Violin Concerto in A minor, Op. 82 by Alexander
Glazunov was premiered in 1905. It has become one of
the most popular violin works, and is indicative of the
composer's brilliant style. The cadenza at the end is one of
the most difficult in the repertoire, because of its utilization
of double stopping techniques.
·
Aram Khachaturian's Violin Concerto in D minor was
finished in 1940 and dedicated to David Oistrakh, who also
premiered the work. The work was awarded the Stalin Prize
for arts in 1941.
·
Russian-American classical violinist Philippe Quint began
his musical career studying at Moscow's Special Music
School for the Gifted. Then he earned both his bachelor's
and master's degrees from Julliard in 1998. He performs
on the 1708 "Ruby" Antonio Stradivari violin, which he is
borrowing from the Stradivari Society.
