Christian Thielemann conducts the Staatskapelle Dresden
Christian Thielemann conducts one of Europe鈥檚 finest orchestras, the Staatskapelle Dresden, in works by Beethoven, Reger and Richard Strauss, with soloist Nikolaj Znaider.
Presented by Kate Molleson
The Staatskapelle Dresden and its Chief Conductor Christian Thielemann open with Beethoven鈥檚 most radiant, smiling work, his sublime Violin Concerto, in the sure hands of Nikolaj Znaider.
After the interval this famously rich-toned orchestra digs into Max Reger鈥檚 affectionate and beautifully orchestrated Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Mozart and finally Richard Strauss鈥檚 witty and abrasive depiction of an impish figure from German folklore, his outlandish tone-poem telling of 鈥楾ill Eulenspiegel鈥檚 merry pranks鈥�.
