- Rachel Barton Pine: I think for the audience to truly appreciate this concerto, it's not just a question of giving all of your attention to me with the orchestra in a supportive role, because it is such a partnership between my part and everybody else's part.
I think if you just take in the big picture and listen for all the music that's happening all around the stage, with of course, the solo violin being at the forefront, but almost more as a tour guide than as, you know, just the main event.
And so, you're gonna really get a rich tapestry of colors and textures, and there's something very transporting about that.
