Virtuosos 43. DREAM

It is intense and unpredictable, sometimes thorny and dramatic, with ups and downs, with the risk of despair, and the desire to give up, but often with moments of great exaltation and inspiration. In the opinion of the INSO-Lviv Symphony Orchestra, this is the path to a dream.

The orchestra’s program is no less intense, with musicians already known to the Lviv audience – double bassist Krzysztof Firlus and conductor Paul Mann – performing together. Listen to the premiere of Derek Scott’s heartfelt “Pavane”, dedicated to the victims of the war in Ukraine, the virtuoso Concerto Divertimento for double bass and orchestra by the famous film composer Nino Roth, and the grandiose patriotic Symphony No. 2 by Jan Sibelius. This is the music that makes wings grow behind your back and returns faith in goodness to your heart.
