Between Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, two worlds are connected : the former’s nascent Romanticism and the latter’s response of tumultuous passion, raw sensitivity, pathos, and tragedy of the latter. A linear trajectory between two stars who continue to shine brightly in the highest musical firmament, the ideal setting for a captivating encounter between Yannick Nézet-Séguin, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, and the magnificent violinist Veronika Eberle, returning to the Festival.
