About Violin Concerto(concerto)
Mitch Lazorko
Jean Sibelius’s *Violin Concerto* (1904, revised 1905) is his only concerto, built with symphonic weight rather than showpiece rhetoric. An extended first-movement cadenza functions like a structural hinge, shifting the soloist from ornament to argument. At David Geffen Hall, Karen Gomyo joins Domingo Hindoyan and the orchestra in a program that also includes Dvořák’s Seventh, placing Nordic austerity beside Central European lyric tradition. In New York, it remains a reliable measure of a violinist’s command of line, pacing, and tone.
