Violist

The three “Bs” of classical music – this is the designation given by the conductor Hans von Bülow to the great masters Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.

Our sixth subscription concert will feature works by composers whose names also begin with the letter “B”, although this is a slightly less usual selection.

We begin with Benjamin Britten. As one of Britain’s most significant composers and a major figure of the 20th century in general, Britten attained fame largely through his operas. It is worth noting that he composed at a very early age – and unlike most composers, he explicitly used this fact in his more “serious” work. At the age of 20 he wrote a chamber piece for string orchestra, Simple Symphony, and in each of its movements he quoted a motif that had occurred to him as a child.

As musical prodigies, they traveled across Europe: Wolfgang Amadé Mozart and his sister Maria Anna. Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn were also inseparable as children, playing music together and sharing composing tips. In "Bruderherz, Schwesterherz" (Brother, Sister), Rolando Villazón presents three pairs of siblings who have already won numerous awards and are on the verge of building flourishing careers.
