Giuseppe Mengoli | Conductor

In justifying his orchestral arrangement of Brahms' first piano quartet, Arnold Schönberg told a music critic: "1. I love the piece. 2. it is rarely played. 3. it is always played very badly, because the louder the pianist plays, the better he is, and you hear nothing of the strings." In the end, Schönberg created a new sound that develops an absolutely independent charm without denying its origins. Complemented by Brahms' own arrangement of the Liebeslieder Waltzes and Richard Strauss' Goethe setting op. 14, this program is conducted by Giuseppe Mengoli, one of the most versatile young conductors of our time.
