Vienna Philharmonic with Christoph von Dohnanyi
Christoph von Dohnanyi and the Vienna Philharmonic in Ligeti's Atmospheres, Wagner's Prelude to Lohengrin, Brahms's Symphony No 3 and, with Rainer Honeck, Berg's Violin Concerto.
Fiona Talkington presents a concert given by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Christoph von Dohn谩nyi, recorded at the Musikverein in November 2019.
The concert begins with Gy枚rgy Ligeti鈥檚 鈥淎tmospheres鈥�, composed in 1961 and used by Stanley Kubrick in his film 鈥�2001 鈥� A Space Odyssey鈥� seven years later, followed immediately by the Prelude to Act I of Wagner鈥檚 opera 鈥淟ohengrin鈥�. A very creative and well thought out segue which shows the orchestra off in glorious technicolour.
The orchestra is then joined by Austrian violinist Rainer Honeck for a performance of Alban Berg鈥檚 deeply moving Violin Concerto, completed in 1935, but inspired by the tragic death of Walter Gropius and Alma Mahler鈥檚 18-year-old daughter, Manon. It鈥檚 dedicated 鈥淭o the memory of an angel鈥�.
During the interval we'll hear two solo instrumental pieces by the Hungarian composer Ern艖 Dohn谩nyi 鈥� grandfather of tonight鈥檚 conductor, Christoph von Dohn谩nyi.
In the second half of the concert, the orchestra will perform one of the stalwarts of the Romantic symphonic repertoire 鈥� Brahms鈥� 3rd. It was composed in the summer of 1883 in Wiesbaden, and premiered later that year by conductor Hans Richter, who proclaimed it to be Brahms; 鈥淓roica鈥�.
To end the programme, we'll hear British soprano Carolyn Sampson in recordings of one of Bach鈥檚 secular cantata - Weichet nur, betr眉bte Schatten (Dissipate, you troublesome shadows), BWV.202 and a gentle chanson by Henri Duparc.
