Slowly the strings pluck a hesitant pizzicato, colored by little clouds of clarinet, and then, rising above it, that infinitely tender violin melody. Goosebumps you get. The andante from Prokofiev's Second Violin Concerto is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful movements in the violin repertoire, performed tonight by Alexandra Conunova. Chief conductor Duncan Ward further conducts a tribute to centuries-old Renaissance music by Sweelinck and symphonic richness of color by Respighi.
