Drittes Sinfoniekonzert

In the organizer's words:

Works by Luigi Dallapiccola, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johannes Brahms

The music of the Italian Luigi Dallapiccola is avant-garde and highly original. He has more in common with Johannes Brahms, whose earthy Symphony No. 4 is also heard in the concerto conducted by Francesco Angelico, than it initially seems! Dallapiccola and Brahms are united by their love of variation, of questioning and changing the arrangement of the notes while keeping to the basic structure. The framework of Dallapiccola's Variazioni per Orchestra is formed by the famous tone monogram "B-A-C-H", a reference to Johann Sebastian Bach. At the beginning, it is still heard in the form of "e-flat-d-f-e" in a brooding, rocking manner. Then some of the instruments push forward, almost wanting to get out of themselves. At some point, the orchestra has had enough: wittily and furiously, it blares over from the brass section. Brass also plays an important role in Brahms' E minor Symphony, not least in the final movement with the memorable trombone chorale. Before that, in his last symphony, Brahms demonstrates his masterful art of constant variation, fulfillment and passionate, rousing symphonic creation. Brahms "paints" a score that always remains interesting, which seems to deal with all facets of human life - despite the absolute nature of this music, which is independent of the world. A program for fans of the most profound orchestral art, which has an even more lasting effect with its beautiful chamber music highlights.
