Concertmaster Frank Huang tests his virtuosic mettle with Saint-Saen's Third Violin Concerto
Known for their fearlessness in pushing boundaries, the New York Philharmonic's pioneering spirit is exemplified in this rousing programme of works by Rachmaninoff, Saint-Saens and Rimsky-Korsakov, featuring the Philharmonic's first ever Asian-American concertmaster Frank Huang.
The perfect choice to tackle the considerable technical demand, multitudinous double and triple stops, and register-pushing, stratospheric heights of Saint-Saen's Third Violin Concerto, virtuoso violinist Huang plays with a lyricism and softness of touch that's juxtaposed by a commanding strength over fleeting passagework.
