About this concert
Which composers’ names are immortalised on the cartouches (or name plaques) on the walls of the Main Hall? The selection says a lot about the musical history of The Concertgebouw and the orchestra, which comes to life when Iván Fischer conducts works by all seventeen composers whose names adorn the balconies. Well-known melodies are heard alongside unknown gems.
Soprano Anna Prohaska sings Richard Strauss’s ‘Ich wollt’ ein Sträusslein binden’, Diepenbrock’s ‘Clair de lune’, Reger’s ‘Mariae Wiegenlied’ and ‘La flûte enchantée’ from Ravel’s Shéhérazade. Among the instrumental works on the programme are Debussy’s Danse profane, Mahler’s Blumine, a movement from Doppers Zuiderzee Symphony, the Trepak from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker and Stravinsky’s Scherzo à la russe. It’s a unique programme full of new discoveries.
