Recorded in 2026 and broadcast by Deutsche Welle (DW Classical Music), this evening brings together South Korean violinist Bomsori Kim, the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich and conductor Paavo Järvi. The programme pairs Korngold’s Violin Concerto — a late-Romantic work written in exile in Los Angeles and prized for its cinematic lyricism — showcased by Bomsori Kim’s warm, expressive tone, with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, famed for its irresistible rhythms and infectious energy. Under Paavo Järvi’s direction, the Tonhalle delivers a vivid, brilliant reading of the Seventh. This live concert film, in the fine tradition of DW’s orchestral captures, offers remarkable image and sound quality and privileged access to the performers’ gestures. Between a rarely played concerto and a cornerstone symphony of the repertoire, this full classical concert, performed live, is an ideal gateway into the great symphonic repertoire of the mid-2020s — Beethoven and Korngold in a single, carefully filmed programme.
