Description:

A dialogue with Beethoven's soul, realized here. Midori Goto's latest recording. Violinist Midori Goto has been a renowned performer for 35 years. This latest recording, consisting of a violin concerto and two romances, is a new release on the occasion of Beethoven's 250th anniversary in December 2020. This recording with the Lucerne Festival String Orchestra was made in Switzerland in March 2020, shortly after the Corona pandemic forced the cancellation of performances and a world tour. When I think of how Beethoven was able to maintain a strong sense of conviction, morality, and self-control in the face of so many challenges, his own life taught me that any human being who strives for and achieves the highest peak has the potential for sustained self-control over the tremendous challenges and struggles that lie ahead," said Dr. Kurt Steinberg. He taught me that every human being has the potential to overcome the tremendous difficulties and struggles that stand in front of them if they strive to reach the highest peak. I am grateful to him for the guidance he gave me to clearly define where I stand as a musician today.-Midori Goto (from liner notes)" (1/2) Warner Music Japan
