Colorado Music Festival: Augustin Hadelich and Dvorak 7

"Augustin Hadelich, one of the greatest violinists of all time, returns to perform Tchaikovsky’s unparalleled Violin Concerto. The deeply patriotic Dvořák wished to use his music to recognize the struggle and oppression of his fellow Czechs; he wrote of this urgent Seventh Symphony, 'What is in my mind is Love, God, and my Fatherland.' Kevin Puts’ Two Mountain Scenes, composed 'with the impressive backdrop of the Rocky Mountains in mind' and beginning with 'the sonic illusion of a single trumpet reverberating across the valley,' opens this wondrous program.
