Recorded live in concert at the Maison symphonique de Montréal in 2019 by the OSM under its now Conductor Emeritus Kent Nagano, the album brings together works performed by the Orchestra’s Concertmaster Andrew Wan such as Alberto Ginastera’s Violin concerto, Leonard Bernstein’s Serenade for Solo Violin, Strings, Harp and Percussion and the Violin Concerto “Adrano” by Samy Moussa, a world premiere recording and OSM-commissioned work.
