Maestro Series 9: Shlomo Mintz at Concert Hall, QPAC

Two of the most famous openings in all music herald Shlomo Mintz’s debut as a conductor with QSO. Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto is searching, questing, intensely lyrical, with musical legend Mintz playing the solo part as well as directing the orchestra. Then, Mahler’s strident fanfare at the opening of his Fifth Symphony paves the way to the most famous slow movement in late Romanticism.
