The name Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment resonates in the classical music world, boasting an illustrious biography filled with unforgettable collaborations with Sir Simon Rattle, Iván Fischer, and our own Philippe Herreweghe. This renowned orchestra excels in 19th-century repertoire. In Beethoven’s Eroica Symphony, he thrust open the doors to burgeoning romanticism with grand opening chords, dramatic themes, and deeply personal feelings. The heroic tone continues in his Violin Concerto, with an enchanting second movement shining amidst the drama. Norwegian violinist Vilde Frang, the embodiment of this captivating richness, is the ideal soloist for this starring role.
