Pros & Cons
Pros
Vivace-cadenza is fierce, indeed. It contains themes from his scores for 4 another dawn and juarez. Change looms large in it with shifts in mood, sound, tempo.
Korngold's concerto is intense. Britten's is a happy romp. Allegro assai vivace 7'23.
Vilde frang plays korngold and the britten violin concerto. Frang pushes the most dramatic elements to the forefront. The soloist is very good at it, with excellent intonation and agility.
