Dresden Musik Festspeile: From Vienna to Hollywood
Wiener Symphoniker conducted by Petr Popelka - Kulturpalast, Concert Hall
Program Info: Wiener Symphoniker Petr Popelka Conductor Renaud Capuçon Violin
A new and wonderful combination of orchestra and conductor leaves its calling card: the Wiener Symphoniker, or Vienna Symphony Orchestra, and Petr Popelka. The Czech musician – who, incidentally, was associate principal double bass of the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden until 2020 – is considered a shooting star on the conductor’s podium. Together, they offer audience favourites: after beginning with Beethoven, the Viennese orchestra and its chief delve into romantic sound worlds. Korngold’s Violin Concerto, as virtuosic as it is mellifluous, is in great hands with the French star violinist Renaud Capuçon. The second half of the concert is dedicated to waltzes of all kinds, beginning with the famous »Dynamiden« Waltz bei Josef Strauss and ending with Richard Strauss’ exhilarating yet ambiguous »Rosenkavalier« Suite, which was given its world premiere in 1946 by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, leaving the audience in a cheerful mood.
Ludwig van Beethoven - Ouverture in C-major Op. 124 »Die Weihe des Hauses« Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D-major Op. 35, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937) Josef Strauss - Waltz Op. 173 »Dynamiden – Geheime Anziehungskräfte« Richard Strauss - Suite from the Opera »Der Rosenkavalier« Op. 59
