At ERSO we are very excited to work with Finalist Joe in our ERSO Soloist of the Year Final on May 12, not only because he is an amazing player but also because it will be such a treat to work on his chosen concerto – the relatively unknown Bliss Violin Concerto.
Bliss always said that his concertos were inspired by the personalities of soloists and this was no exception as it was written for Alfredo Campoli (1906 – 1991) who was an Italian-born British violinist, noted for the beauty of the tone he produced from the violin.
