hr-Sinfonieorchester

When Richard Strauss composes, the theater is not far away. Gripping sounds, effective gestures - his symphonic poems allow characters as diverse as Till Eulenspiegel and Macbeth to emerge and take on a three-dimensional form in the concert hall. The orchestra as a cabinet of sound wonders. Sebastian Weigle, the former General Music Director of the Frankfurt Opera, has particular expertise in the works of Richard Strauss. The orchestra and conductor must act on the same wavelength, Strauss scores are trump cards that must be skilfully played. Augustin Hadelich is also a guest in the "Great Series" of the hr Symphony Orchestra - once a child prodigy, but long since one of the leading violinists of any generation. You can experience him with the famous Mendelssohn concerto, which leads into elegiac, pensive, noble spheres and exudes flawless beauty.
