With spectacular mountain ranges and magnificent nature in the background, the title character in Lord Byron's drama Manfred wanders around and tries to forget. But not even magic can help him forget the past and his deceased beloved. In his Manfred symphony, Tchaikovsky gives musical expression to the torments of the soul, angels and demons, but also to rural idyll and the great, lost love.

A string quintet with two cellos? Schubert! A string octet? Mendelssohn! A piano quintet with four winds? Beethoven or Mozart? Yet there is no standard this time: The chamber music season opens with three works of Russian Romanticism, and they show us that Russia is culturally a part of Europe in spite of the current regime's imperialism.

The eternal call that never falls silent. It can be soft or loud, melancholic or combative. But the moment we listen to it, it becomes our own. Few instruments could be more primal than the horn. Initially an object of hunting, later of rites and ceremonies, its sound was a warning and a promise. In Jewish tradition, the shofar raises its voice in prayer. In "Niggun David," a wordless chant, the ram's horn becomes a medium, a spiritual echo of the longing for the absolute. Dmitri Shostakovich's Symphony No. 6, however, strikes a different tone. Here, we hear the turmoil of the 20th century, the voice of a man
searching for truth amidst political storms. The symphony begins in somber contemplation, as if a call were coming from a distant world. But soon the mood changes – irony, mockery, and grotesque dances break through the gravity and reveal a world in which the tragic and the absurd are inextricably linked. The call of the music, however, remains, sometimes as a warning, sometimes as a desperate cry.

Those who seek authenticity when travelling can easily be misled: Richard Strauss was one of them when he thought he had heard an original Neapolitan folk song in Naples and incorporated it into his symphonic fantasy "Aus Italien". In fact, "Funiculì, funiculà" had been composed by Luigi Denza just a few years earlier, and in a less than popular context at that - as an advertisement for the new cable car up Vesuvius. Strauss' trip to Italy nevertheless represented a turning point in his work: "Aus Italien" brilliantly opens the series of tone poems with which he became famous.

This program offers an intimate journey through the heart of chamber music, blending Romantic lyricism and classical elegance. Glière’s Ten Duos for Two Cellos highlights a rich interplay of resonant melodies between the two instruments. Amy Beach’s Romance for Violin and Piano envelops listeners in lush, lyrical beauty, while Schumann’s Märchenbilder paints a series of fantastical scenes for viola and piano. The program concludes with Beethoven’s Piano Quartet in E-flat major, a work that embodies both balance and charm. It marks a transitional moment in Beethoven’s career, bridging the Classical elegance of his early works with the bold, expressive style that would define his Romantic-era compositions.

The string octet offers the best of both worlds, combining the full resonance of a string orchestra with the soloistic virtuosity and clarity of a chamber music ensemble. Max Bruch, an incurable romantic, composed his swansong, the String Octet in B-Flat Major, towards the end of his life. A few years later, Dimitri Shostakovich would embrace modernity in his Prelude and Scherzo, opus 11. Reinhold Glière’s String Octet in D Major strikes a compromise between the two. While the fiery temperament is indisputably Russian, the lyricism harks back to German romanticism. Enjoy three key early 20th-century chamber pieces.

"Man only plays when he is in the full sense of the word a human being, and he is only fully a human being when he plays." These famous words come from Friedrich Schiller, and the program under the direction of our honorary conductor Christoph Eschenbach inspires us to many musical flourishes – with our wind players repeatedly shining through with their playful spirit. And the instrumental pieces hit the mark perfectly, for example in the overture from Weber's opera "Der Freischütz" from 1821: Here, bullets cursed by demonic powers decide the love life of a young hunter in a competition – but "the whole thing ends joyfully," as the composer noted. Afterwards, together with our solo horn player Andreas Kreuzhuber, we perform a fascinating concerto by Reinhold Glière: Although this virtuoso piece was composed in 1950, it is entirely imbued with a romantic spirit.
