Lalo: Symphonie espagnole - Ravel: Tzigane - Chausson: Poème

Vadim Repin, perhaps the most gifted violinist of his generation, gives a fiery rendition of Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole. Fun fact: it is performed on the Ruby Stradivarius that was once owned by Pablo de Sarasate when he premiered the work in 1875! The program, conducted by Kent Nagano, is completed by other French violin masterpieces.
