Strauss and Schumann from Copenhagen
Fabio Luisi conducts the Danish National Symphony Orchestra in Richard Strauss's portrait of Don Juan, and Schumann celebrates the joy of life in his Second Symphony.
Fiona Talkington presents one of the highlights of the concert season in Europe: Fabio Luisi conducts the Danish National Symphony Orchestra in Richard Strauss鈥檚 gripping portrait of the seducer Don Juan, while Schumann celebrates the joy of life in his Symphony no. 2.
Along with these familiar works is Hans Abrahamsen鈥檚 Horn Concerto, a new masterpiece by the famous Danish composer, described by one critic after its Berlin premiere in the following terms: "a panorama of vastness and tranquillity opens up at the beginning, the strings and flageolet hint at dawning distances, plucks of the harp light up like the first stars in the evening, and the block of wood that a percussionist beats meaningfully cracks. And the horn? It sings above it as longingly and brightly as only a horn can: softly muted, with a vision of great adventures, perhaps also with the memory of them."
