Our Take

WANG / PHILHARMONIA / SANDERLING Stravinsky / Violin Concerto

If Stravinsky was alive today, he'd be throwing back shots with Kanye at the Met Gala. The man was a musical genius, blending classical elements with avant-garde sensibilities like the ultimate trendsetter he was. So when you hear violin virtuoso Wang tackle his Violin Concerto with the Philharmonia under the baton of Sanderling, you know you're in for a wild ride.

The opening bars hit you like a ton of bricks, with Wang's bow dancing effortlessly across the strings, pulling at your heartstrings and leaving you breathless. The Philharmonia's lush orchestrations provide the perfect backdrop, wrapping you in a warm embrace as the music builds to a thunderous crescendo.

But it's not all serious business. Stravinsky had a wicked sense of humour, and that comes through in spades in this performance. Wang's playful interpretation injects a sense of fun into the proceedings, reminding you that classical music doesn't have to be stuffy and boring.

Sanderling keeps the whole affair running smoothly, like a well-oiled machine, never missing a beat or losing the thread of the music. It's a masterclass in conducting, showing why he's considered one of the best in the business.

In short, this album is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates great music, impeccable musicianship, and a healthy dose of fun. Stravinsky would be proud.
