BEETHOVEN, LUDWIG VAN

Beethoven: Violin Concerto & Romances

The Creatures of Prometheus Overture, Op. 43
Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61
Romances Nos. 1 & 2 for violin and orchestra
Lorenzo Gatto (violin)
Orchestre de Chambre Pelléas, Benjamin Levy

Lorenzo Gatto, a creative artist and an exceptional violinist (winner of several major international competitions), could have concentrated exclusively on his career as a soloist, but he has always been interested in exploring other, more experimental paths, as he does with Trilogy, formed with two violinist friends, a trio that goes beyond the bounds of classical music.

This recording of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto and Romances represents as it were a return to his roots. It also bears witness to his fruitful encounter with the Orchestre de Chambre Pelléas and its conductor, Benjamin Levy, and to their common desire to bring out the essence and the modernity of these masterpieces.
