A programme of great density with three masterpieces from the Germanic repertoire. The three composers included in this concert all take a similar retrospective look at the great Viennese tradition.
Through striking melodies, Brahms signals an overwhelming farewell to the symphony genre. Strauss reconnects with the carelessness of Imperial dances prior to 1914. As for the Berg’s Concerto, he quotes a Bach chorale as the beacon of an endangered world.
