Concert information
At the invitation of the Berliner Philharmoniker
Info
Diverse tonal colours, intense emotions: These qualities characterise the music of the Romantic period. This concert with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra shows just how broad an expressive spectrum could be encompassed by works from this period. Franz Schubert is featured, with his lyrical and intriguing “Unfinished” Symphony and melancholy “Lacrimoso son io”; also on the programme are Mendelssohn's liltingly lively “Scottish”’ Symphony and Richard Wagner's Siegfried Idyll: a tender declaration of love to his wife Cosima. Raphaël Pichon, best-known for his refreshing approach to early music, conducts.

Felix Mendelssohn as traveller
Mendelssohn went on a three-year educational trip in his early twenties and brought back a great deal of inspiration for his later works. The inspiration for the “Scottish” Symphony was only one of many fruits of his experiences.
