Salvador Mas & OCM: Palau de la Música Catalana
Over het evenement
Take part in this amazing concert with the Orquestra Simfòmica Camera Musicae under the baton of Salvador Mas in one of the masterpieces of Art Nouveau architecture, the Palau de la Música Catalana.
THREE VISIONS OF AUSTRIA IN THE 19TH CENTURY
Lakes, gardens and the eternally elegant city of Vienna. The masterful baton of Salvador Mas will enter into the music of three essential composers to understand musical romanticism.
The Unfinished is one of the most widely used symphonies of Viennese Franz Schubert, for two reasons: first of all, because of the mystery that means not knowing for sure why he did not finish it or if he really only wanted to have two movements and, therefore, he is completed Secondly, because it groups all the characteristics of the time in a sublime way: drama, hope, enthusiasm, sadness…
Josef Strauss is not as famous as his brother Johann because his music is less splendid, but his dexterity in orchestration becomes perfectly clear in this Polka‐Mazurka that talks about the flight of the dragonfly through the Viennese gardens .
The second symphony of Brahms was conceived in the summer of 1877 on the lake of Wörth and premiered three months later in Vienna. Some scholars consider what could be called 'pastoral symphony', since in each of its four movements music draws rural environments and a certain nostalgia for life in communion with nature.
