A musical journey from Mozart to Britten with the Linz Concert Society. Experience string sounds of the Viennese Classical, Romantic, and Modern eras at the Brucknerhaus.
Description
The Linz Concert Society presents, under the direction of Josef Sabaini, an evening rich in variety featuring works for string orchestra. The program spans from the Viennese Classical period to the 20th century, combining well-known masterpieces with rarely performed gems.
The evening opens with Mozart’s Divertimento K. 138, reflecting the influence of the Italian style. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s early Violin Concerto in D minor, composed at the age of 13, showcases his admiration for Bach. Jacob Meining takes the solo violin part. Anton Arensky’s Variations on a Theme by Tchaikovsky is based on the latter’s song Legend, while Britten’s Simple Symphony was written for amateur orchestras with elevated aspirations, featuring its delightful pizzicato passages.
The Viennese tradition is represented by Joseph Lanner and Joseph Strauss, and Johannes Brahms’ Hungarian Dance No. 5 concludes the program with vibrant inspiration drawn from Hungarian folk music.
