Jean Sibelius (1865-1957)
Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D minor, Op. 47
Richard Strauss (1864-1949)
“An Alpine Symphony” for large orchestra, Op. 64
This concert includes a spicy take on our summer theme. Originally Richard Strauss intended to call his “Alpine Symphony” “The Antichrist,” loosely after Friedrich Nietzsche’s polemic attack on faith. Strauss agreed wholeheartedly with the perspective of the philosopher. Only a few days after completing the score, he remarked: “Despite everything I have not yet given up hope for a better humanity, perhaps once Christianity has disappeared from the earth.” But before the Vienna Philharmonic and Bernard Haitink ascend the peaks of Straussian late Romanticism, Vilde Frang, the wonderfully musical and charismatic violinist who won the Credit Suisse Young Artist Award in 2012, will take the stage to perform Sibelius’s Violin Concerto and confirm the rightness of the jury’s decision.
