Esa-Pekka Salonen & Hilary Hahn

A blazingly beautiful all-Beethoven program: First, Hilary Hahn performs the Violin Concerto, a work of singular scope, vision, and majesty. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4 isn’t performed as often as his other symphonies, but it’s every bit as beguiling. Bubbling over with Haydnesque wit and dance-derived hooks that wouldn’t seem odd in a Mozart opera, the Fourth might be Beethoven's most underrated symphony.
