Alena Baeva and Concerto Budapest A Zeneakadémia saját szervezésű programja

Alena Baeva is one of the brightest stars of the young violinist generation. She is not yet 30, but she has already won several prestigious competitions (Wienawski Competition, 2001; Paganini Competition, 2004; Sendai Competition, 2007). Born in Kazakhstan, educated in Moscow, her masters included Mstislav Rostropovich, Shlomo Mintz and Ida Haendel. She has more than 35 concertos on her repertoire; this recital sees her performing Tchaikovsky’s exquisite Violin Concerto with András Keller and Concerto Budapest. In the second half we will hear Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, a work Richard Wagner called “the apotheosis of the dance”, and Glenn Gould “the first disco music”.
