The live performance of “Violin Concerto in F minor” conducted and composed by the composer and pianist Giovanni Allevi.
Violin: Reiko Watanabe
Orchestra Sinfonica Italiana
Conductor: Giovanni Allevi
"My Concerto for Violin and Orchestra is perhaps the work of which I am most proud. I started writing it in a hotel room in Osaka Japan after four years of depression in which I was no longer able to compose music. I am not a violinist (neither was Beethoven) but I followed the flow of inspiration without taking into account the technical difficulties that this music entails on the instrument. The Concerto is in three movements: Mosso, Adagio and Allegro con slancio. The writing is extremely virtuosic for the soloist, who engages in an equal dialogue with the symphony orchestra. In this music I hear the echoes of Italian melodrama, the poignant melody that speaks of a lost love, of hope, of tension towards infinity. In this video excerpt, Reiko Watanabe, one of the most acclaimed Japanese violinists in the world, holds the Stradivarius. Her passion for her is overwhelming, and I thank her for having interpreted my violin concerto by putting her whole soul into it."
