About Violin Concerto No. 2(concerto)
Karol Szymanowski’s **Violin Concerto No. 2** (1933) sits at a crossroads of late-Romantic lyricism and early modern color, written for violinist Paweł Kochański. The solo line moves like an extended monologue, with the orchestra answering in shifting, luminous harmonies rather than conventional virtuoso display. At **David Geffen Hall**, **Leila Josefowicz** joins **David Robertson** and the **New York Philharmonic** in a program that also includes an NYC premiere by Mason Bates and Lutosławski’s Concerto. One can hear the concerto’s uneasy blend of rapture and volatility as a portrait of a Europe between eras.
