There\u2019s some entertaining, dazzling, smile-inducing, toe-tapping music here…Aaron Jay Kernis is the pre eminent orchestral showman of the age and his meeting of minds with Heifetz\u2019s representative on earth James Ehnes has resulted in a concerto that goes through just about every motion possible.<\/p>\n![\"AdTech](\"https:\/\/aka-cdn.adtech.de\/images\/Default_Size_16_1x1.gif\")
<\/a>Kernis doesn\u2019t just get multiple shades of feeling from the chord sequence of his opening Chaconne; he gets that sequence to semaphore drastically different emotions while the music itself becomes stylistically more manic, roaring out that chord sequence with ominous foreboding one minute and merrily tweeting it the next. There are interesting disruptive elements in the slow movement, where Ehnes trades his fire-breathing for a pure ribbon of sound, and a dazzling finale that underlines the piece\u2019s credentials as a concerto as much for orchestra as for violin…I\u2019d be most keen to hear Kernis\u2019s again.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
