Ilan Volkov, conductor

In a memorable Prom in 2019, violinist Pekka Kuusisto took Sibelius’s Violin Concerto back to its roots in Finnish folk music. Now the dazzling, fearless Patricia Kopatchinskaja takes up the challenge, tracing the same evolution from traditional Hungarian songs and dances to BartΓ³k’s Violin Concerto No. 2. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Scottish Symphony Orchestra and conductor Ilan Volkov explore the rough-hewn rhythms and the lyrical melodies that unite BartΓ³k’s Violin Concerto with the Magyar music that so fascinated the composer.
