Sinfonische Meilensteine
Theater und Philharmonie Essen, Alfried Krupp Saal (Essen)
Franz Schubert and Johannes Brahms found the path to the grand symphony not an easy one. Schubert's "Unfinished" and Brahms' First Symphony, considered milestones, meet in this concert. They are both demanding, courageous, and forward-looking, yet grounded in the past - Brahms' First was even called "Beethoven's Tenth." Carl Nielsen's Flute Concerto blends neoclassicism with avant-garde, featuring soloist Olivier Girardin.
