Staatskapelle Dresden and leading pianist András Schiff. Ready for a romantic programme.
With an uninterrupted tradition dating back to 1547, the Staatskapelle Dresden can proudly describe itself as the oldest orchestra in the world. It is no coincidence that this German orchestra is an absolute world leader. With Myung-Whun Chung as an experienced guide, the orchestra treats us to two full-blooded Romantic works. In his First Piano Concerto, Brahms makes strikingly frequent use of contrasts, which are often considered to be musical reveries on the death of his friend and fellow composer Schumann. Leading pianist András Schiff knows better than anyone how to reveal the soul of the work. Melancholy and nostalgia abound in the Seventh Symphony by Dvorák, who combines a jovial folk style with a generous dose of both introspection and ardour. Thus a wide-ranging experience awaits you that will be burned into your memory for a long time to come.
