sawylThe first of two proms from Daniel Barenboim and Staatskapelle Berlin, and the start of their mini-series of Elgar symphonies. The program kicked off with Jean Sibelius' Violin Concerto with Lisa Batiashvili as soloist; a solid and enjoyable performance. The performance of Elgar's Symphony No. 1 seemed fine, but I'm not greatly fussed on Elgar's symphonies, so I can't say that I was listening particularly deeply. The program closed with Sibelius' Valse Triste and Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 as an encore.
