Programme

Concert Information

Both Elvis Presley and Stanley Kubrick were partial to a (Richard) Strauss sunrise, and his early morning wake-up call for Zarathustra gives us one of music鈥檚 most glorious openings ever. The rest of it isn鈥檛 half bad either. Strauss鈥檚 take on Nietzsche is philosophy 鈥渓ite鈥 but 鈥渇ull fat鈥 on flair. Gregorian chant, mathematical puzzles and an uplifting Viennese waltz are all whizzed up in a blender to create one of the most sumptuous orchestral pieces ever written. We rewind to the delight of Mozart 鈥 the melodies in this symphony are as characterful as anything he wrote in his operas. And taking centre stage is Bruch鈥檚 First Violin Concerto 鈥 rich melodies, dazzling folk rhythms and a glorious slow movement are just some of the reasons why this Romantic giant repeatedly tops the Classical charts.
