The styles, orchestration, and sound effects of his compositions always invoke discussion. Roman Carnival Overture, the most beloved orchestral work of Berlioz, vividly recounts his escapades in Rome, leading us on a virtual journey with gorgeous music.
\n\nIn comparison to Berlioz, German composer Brahms is introverted and it shows in his music. His Symphony No.4 written in his later years plays like a journal of intense personal emotion. His life experiences and reminiscences are revealed one by one in four movements.
\n\nAs a commission for Russian violinist Heifetz, God's own fiddler as he is known, British composer Walton composed his Violin Concerto in 1939. It's a work built on modern musical idioms yet imbued with rich Romantic aura. Appealing melodies influenced by the Scottish and Italian folk songs are peppered throughout the whole work.
\n\nAccompanied by the NSO, the American maestro Slatkin and young aspiring violinst Paul Huang will bring us these three masterpieces, precious heritages of classical music.
