A concert evening that combines great emotions and subtle nuances - from impressionistic stage music and expressive song art to one of the most impressive symphonies of the Romantic period.
An unforgettable evening full of deep emotions that takes the audience on a journey through different eras. The evening begins with Gabriel Faure's "Pelleas et Melisande" op. 80 - a sequence of melodies from his incidental music, which depicts the tragic and mystical story from Maeterlinck's drama in beautiful, yearning soundscapes. Delicate tones merge with the dark, mysterious atmosphere inherent in the drama. In Alban Berg's "Seven Early Songs" op. 2, alto Marianne Kielland can unfold her full expressive vocal artistry. These songs reflect Berg's early compositional work and explore profound themes such as love, loneliness and longing. They thus echo Maeterlinck's motifs in the program.
The songs are imbued with a shimmering intensity that brings the emotional depth and subtle melodies of the works to life. The evening ends with Johannes Brahms' Symphony No. 3 in F major op. 90, a work of rare beauty and expressiveness. It embodies resistance to the challenges of life and radiates a sublime yet almost melancholy warmth. With its unmistakable harmony and moving themes, this symphony is one of the most important works of the Romantic period. Let yourself be carried away into the deepest emotional worlds and the finest tonal shades in this concert and experience the lyrical and orchestral heritage of the Romantic period and the early 20th century!
