Orchestra Concert “MORITZBURG FOR ALL - COUNTRYSIDE

Kulturpalast Dresden

The Hamburg and the Viennese, the symphonist and the waltz king, heavy art and light fare - when Brahms and Strauss meet in concert, such contrasts are in the air. But how much of this is true, what is exaggerated and perhaps even a cliché? After all, the two composers not only respected each other, but were best friends. Reason enough for Friederike Westerhaus to devote herself to the special relationship between these two artistic personalities at the second "Klassik Extra" concert together with the Catalan conductor Josep Caballé Domenech.

Johann? Or rather Johannes? A case for clever detectives who have to be on two trails today. With chief detective Malte, we set off on a trail that leads from the far north of Germany to Austria.

Sometimes gently swaying, sometimes wildly stomping – this is how the successive waltzes in Carl Maria von Weber's "Invitation to the Dance" sound. With this piece, originally composed for piano, Weber created a depiction of the intoxicating love of dance of his time in 1819. The Spanish composer Manuel de Falla – the music world will celebrate his 150th birthday in 2026 – was so fascinated by a performance of the "Ballets Russes" in Paris that he wanted to create music for a ballet himself. Inspired by the dancer Pastore Imperio from his homeland, de Falla studied the tradition of Andalusian flamenco and the singing style of "cante jondo" and, on this basis, wrote the ballet "El amor brujo" (The Love Spell) for voice and orchestra in the winter of 1914/15, from which he transformed a year later into a symphonic suite with voice. The solo part is played by Ieva Prudnikovaite, who is currently delighting audiences as Carmen at the Lübeck Theater.
