Bamberger Symphoniker at Festspielhaus Baden‐Baden
Baden‐Baden, Festspielhaus Baden‐Baden
About the Event
Bamberg, a small town boasting one of the world's finest orchestras, recently presented an exceptional violinist on its tour. María Dueñas, a rising star in the violin realm, joins a prestigious tradition at the Festspielhaus. The orchestra showcased Beethoven's Violin Concerto, a masterpiece revered for its innovative approach. The concerto daringly commences with a solo timpani, a captivating provocation that challenges convention. In stark contrast, Brahms' first symphony opens with powerful timpani strokes that evoke a sense of unavoidable destiny. From the grandiose and triumphant brass chorales in the exhilarating finale, the audience experiences a lasting enchantment that endures to this day.
