Ripon International Festival 2024
Royal Northern Sinfonia
Janusz Piotrowicz – conductor
Jennifer Pike – violin
Beethoven: Violin Concerto in D major
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5 in E minor
Tchaikovsky’s mighty Fifth symphony is famous for its poignant horn solo and thrilling, turbulent Finale. Janusz Piotrowicz is renowned for his revelatory, high octane performances of the great classics and for his rare qualities of tenderness, depth and warmth of sound: ‘atmospheric contrasts were especially ravishing …this was blissful stuff … power and introspection … a profound performance’ The Guardian. Jennifer Pike (BBC Young Musician of the Year 2002 when aged 12) brings dazzling interpretative flair to Beethoven’s great masterpiece ‘from child prodigy to superbly graceful virtuoso’ The Times
