Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra - Changing Moods

Event Date: 
12/12/2013 - 7:30pm
Venue: 
The Great Hall, Exeter University

The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in concert.

Programme:

R Strauss : Metamorphosen Symphony No.4 "Italian" : Violin Concerto Schumann Mendelssohn

Performers :

Conductor : Kirill Karabits Soloist: Renaud Capucon (Violin)

With its dense chromaticism, intricate counterpoint, and Wagnerian drive sweeping toward a great climax, Metamorphosen is a memorial to a type of music that had been abandoned long before 1945. It succeeds so brilliantly because Strauss at last found a way to address the present with the voice of the past.

Schumann too linked...
