The 19th century was the century of romanticism, especially in music, where the time offers wonderful works. The fabulous German violinist Arabella Steinbacher is the soloist in Mendelssohn's sensitive Violin Concerto, and the concert also offers a musical portrayal of Don Juan and his frenzied pursuit of women in Richard Strauss's tone poem Don Juan . The concert ends in waltz time with the elegant  Imperial Waltz by Johann Strauss dy, which is included as the last stop on the journey through the age of romanticism.
