Till Eulenspiegel
When Richard Strauss composes, theater is not far away. His symphonic poems bring characters like Till Eulenspiegel and Macbeth to life in the concert hall. Sebastian Weigle, former General Music Director of the Frankfurt Opera, conducts. Augustin Hadelich, a leading violinist, performs Mendelssohn's concerto. Note: Weigle replaced Andrés Orozco-Estrada, leading to program adjustments. Concert duration: about 115 minutes including intermission.
