Béla Bartók: Concerto for Viola and Orchestra, Sz. 120
Zoltán Kodaly: Dances of Galánta
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy: Concert overture The Hebrides
Robert Schumann: Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54

Without any doubt, David Aaron Carpenter is one of the most outstanding violists of our time and, thus, the ideal soloist for Béla Bartók's late Concerto for viola and orchestra. Zoltán Kodály composed the Dances of Galánta, based on childhood memories and underlining how much the Hungarian music owes to the creativity and virtuosity of the Romani people. Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy wrote his concert overture Die Hebriden (The Hebrides) under the impression of a journey to Scotland. It brilliantly paints an image of nature and has therefore been considered an early example of a symphonic poem. Described as "a forceful and rhapsodic soloist" by the Los Angeles Times, Julia Zilberquit plays Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor together with the Kaliningrad Symphony Orchestra under Arkady Feldman.
