– Frankfurt Radio Symphony – February 7, 2014 – Radio France Musique – Part 2 –
Taking a short break from historic concerts this week and heading over to Frankfurt for a concert by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony conducted by Andres Orozco Estrada and featuring the brilliant German-Japanese violinist, Arabella Steinbacher, recorded last year.
It’s a widely balanced concert, featuring music by Haydn, Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Eugène Ysaye and a premier by Friederich Cerha. It was recorded last February 7th at the Frankfurt Opera and relayed by Radio France Musique.
Since it’s over 90 minutes, it’s on two players – so here’s what’s what:

A wonderful concert. Steinbacher handily proves why she is one of the bright stars on the musical horizon today.
Enjoy.
Summer is over, Winter is around the corner and everybody is back at work or school. If you’re in school you’re probably knee-deep in History – tests, reports, papers – homework. Reading about things that happened decades before you were born – can’t quite wrap your head around it. If you’re a teacher, it’s like pulling teeth to get your students even remotely interested in what happened before they were born. If you’re at work, you may be one of those people in middle-management who have to do presentations – something to amaze your boss and your colleagues – no pressure, but you have to deliver the goods, usually yesterday.
