Bamberger Symphoniker – Jonathan Nott
Past Dates
Bamberger Symphoniker
Jonathan Nott · conductor
Daniel Hope · violin
Benjamin Britten
Violin Concerto op. 15 (1839/1958)
Sir Harrison Birtwistle
The Shadow of Night (2001)
Richard Strauss
Tod und Verklärung (1891)
19:00 introduction
Harrison Birtwistle’s work starts gloomily, but a great force slowly mounts in the background. The intensity of the music is constantly ratcheted up, resulting in a tonal drama. Here, Richard Strauss’s ebulliently triumphal tone poems appear to be reflected through the experience of the twentieth century. Benjamin Britten’s 1939 violin concerto forms a bridge between these two musical minds.
