About the Music
German violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann joins Christoph von Dohnányi and the BSO in the Czech composer Bohuslav Martinu°’s Violin Concerto No. 2, one of several works programmed this season to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the composer’s death. Martinu° was strongly championed by Serge Koussevitzky and the BSO. Violinist Mischa Elman gave the world premiere with the BSO and Koussevitzky in December 1943. Bartók wrote his Divertimento for String Orchestra in 1939 just before he himself fled Europe, modeling it on the Baroque concerto grosso genre. Dvořák's Symphony No. 8 is perhaps the composer’s most representative blending of Czech musical spirit with the German symphonic tradition.
