Beethoven: Violin Concerto

Reviews say there is no surer way to bring a repertoire piece to life than a Janine Jansen performance. Conductor Jakub Hrůša sets out to prove that what has once been written should not remain frozen as if in a display case. Then the composer Martin Smolka describes his job as reworking old forms in an idiosyncratic manner.
