An Alpine Symphony

Fri, Apr 25, 2025, 19:00
Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Franz Welser-Möst (Conductor)
Franz Schubert was only around 17–18 years old when he wrote his second symphony. Yet it is an impressive work in the spirit of Beethoven. In other words, it is music full of contrasts and captivating melodies.The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra is led by Franz Welser-Möst, who in 2018 was awarded the title Eric Ericson Honorary Chair. Since 2020, he regularly conducts the orchestra. It is a collaboration that follows the bond that developed between the orchestra and conductor during the initial concerts together, and has deepened over the years.A composer who holds a special place in Welser-Möst's heart is Richard Strauss. Here, he leads the orchestra in An Alpine Symphony, which, despite the title, is not a traditional symphony but a tone poem that depicts a dramatic journey up and down an Alpine mountain, with changing weather and nature immersions. To portray the adventure, Strauss prescribes an enormous orchestra – including cowbells, wind and thunder machines, and an extra-large brass section.

Klassik am Odeonsplatz

Sat, Jul 12, 2025, 20:00
Franz Welser-Möst (Conductor), Daniil Trifonov (Piano), Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
When Daniil Trifonov played Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, one critic recommended begging for a ticket for the following concert, or even stealing one if necessary, in order to experience the “electrifying performance” of this “fiendishly difficult” work. He praised the pianist for his “almost superhuman” technique and for imbuing his performance with exceptional visceral energy. At this Klassik am Odeonsplatz concert, Trifonov will perform this work in glorious harmony with the BRSO under the baton of Franz Welser-Möst, who is an expert in this repertoire. Strauss’ Rosenkavalier Suite (lasting a good 50 minutes), which renders the elegant conversations between the Marschallin, Baron Ochs, and Octavian audible even without words and singing, will then send the listeners dancing into the evening in infectious three-four time.
