Heifetz On Tour: Vieuxtemps: Élégie, Op. 30 for Viola & Piano | Matt Cohen & Carlos Avila

From the publisher: "The peripatetic life and career of the Belgian composer Henri Vieuxtemps (1820 - 1881) anticipated the European concept almost prophetically in the 19th century. The best example is his Élégie of 1848: written in St. Petersburg, it celebrated its greatest triumphs in Paris, was printed in Offenbach am Main, and enthusiastically reviewed in London. Critics were quick to note the expressive contrasts as well as the bravura style of the coda, which was elegant and at the same time brilliant'."

Heifetz Institute alum Matt Cohen and faculty pianist Carlos Avila perform the Élégie at a Heifetz On Tour concert in April 2016. Filmed and produced at the Galvin Middle School Auditorium by Wakefield Community Access Television (WCAT).
