Victor Yampolsky, conductor; Maria Bachmann, violin; Grant Knox, tenor; University Chorale
Corigliano’s The Red Violin: Chaconne for Violin and Orchestra is a set of variations based on his Oscar-winning score for the 1998 film. This richly eclectic and poetic work encompasses classical elegance, gypsy passion, and angst-ridden harmonies. The baroque device of a repeated chord pattern — a chaconne — gives an overarching sense of unity to the film’s episodic story line, resulting in a set of remarkably imaginative variations on a theme of haunting pathos. Violin soloist Maria Bachmann was hailed by the New York Times as “a violinist of soul and patrician refinement.” The program also includes Liszt’s A Faust Symphony.
