Chamber Music in the Brahms-Saal

Vienna Music Society

Before the soloists can shine in the 9th symphony concert, the evening opens with Franz Schubert's Overture in C major in the Italian style. He wrote this in 1817 after a performance of Rossini's "Tancredi" and bet with friends that he too could write such music.

Excerpt Class with Sophie Dervaux

Love tangles, deception, double standards: Rossini ignites a fast-paced firework display in the lively overture to his opera La scala di seta. Hardly anyone could deliver this with more spirit than a stylistically assured conductor like Antonino Fogliani. Things get exciting in Bruno Maderna's Giardino religioso. There are no fixed sequences here; musicians and conductor decide in real time where the journey will take them. It sounds chaotic, but it's cleverly executed! The result is a truly special concert moment. No less thrilling is Nino Rota's Bassoon Concerto, played by Sophie Dervaux, the principal bassoonist of the Vienna Philharmonic. Rota was much more than "just" a film music genius. In addition to ten operas, he composed numerous other works – and this charming, joyful concerto. Haydn's Symphony "Mit dem Paukenschlag", which sparkles with wit and inventiveness, is another highlight of a program that promises to be as unusual as it is entertaining.

Haydn: Symphony No. 9 “With the Timpani Roll”

The Bell, Bremen

Childhood as a significant phase of life was a discovery of the 19th century. Robert Schumann's Kinderszenen (  Scenes from Childhood) is just as much a musical expression of the appreciation of children as Mussorgsky's Kinderstube (The Nursery) or Debussy's Children's Corner .
