A Korngold bouquet of music
The concert begins solemnly and radiantly with Beethoven's Ouverture, which was performed at the opening of the new Theater in der Josefstadt in 1822, and opens the curtain for the violin concerto by Erich Wolfgang Korngold that follows. Among other things, Korngold performed successful operas and operettas at the Josefstadt before emigrating to the USA, where he became a successful film music composer. Echoes of this can also be found in the violin concerto he composed in exile, which received its European premiere in 1960 at the Vienna Konzerthaus with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. In addition to operas by Korngold, those by Richard Strauss were extremely popular in Vienna in the first decades of the 20th century. In the second half of the concert, you will hear the suite to his »Rosenkavalier«, a homage to Vienna and the waltz, introduced by Josef Strauss' Dynamidenwalzer, which is taken up in the suite.
