CHRISTIAN KLUXEN, conductor
BLAKE POULIOT, violin
Heino Eller: Koit (Dawn)
Jean Sibelius: Violin Concerto in D minor
Antonín Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 in E minor (“From the New World”)
Heino Eller’s Dawn captures both the first light of day and the awakening of Estonian national identity after World War I. Sibelius’s Violin Concerto, lyrical and vast, reflects the mystery of the landscape that shaped him, here brought to life by the brilliant Canadian violinist Blake Pouliot. Dvořák’s New World Symphony, written during his stay in America, weaves homesickness and discovery into one of the most beloved works in all symphonic literature.
