Maurice Ravel’s Tzigane, a concert rhapsody for violin and orchestra, is a true test of any performer’s technical skill and virtuosity. Ravel composed the work in 1924 for Hungarian violinist Jelly d’Arányi, who had introduced him to the passionate traditional music of Eastern European Romani bands.

Contemporary American composer and double bassist Frank Proto spent many years with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, but also collaborated with jazz legends such as Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington, and Gerry Mulligan. In his Nine Variations on Paganini for Double Bass and Orchestra from 2001, Proto dresses Paganini’s famous 24th Caprice in a lively jazz style.

Claude Debussy’s iconic orchestral work Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun), composed in 1894, was inspired by a poem by Stéphane Mallarmé. Through classical mythology, Mallarmé evokes fleeting and dreamlike sensual impressions.

Samuel Barber’s Violin Concerto is not a showy or flashy work, but rather a lyrical and contemplative piece, unfolding in the intimate atmosphere of a small orchestra. However, this does not mean that it makes any fewer technical demands on the soloist.

The concerto was premiered in 1941 by violinist Albert Spalding with the renowned Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of Eugene Ormandy.
