About this concert
Which composers’ names are immortalised on the cartouches (or name plaques) on the balconies of the Main Hall? The selection of composers – exclusively white men – says a lot about the Zeitgeist of 100 years ago. Amsterdam music history comes to life when Iván Fischer conducts works by all seventeen of these composers. ‘This programme is a time machine’, says the conductor.
Well-known melodies are heard alongside unknown gems. Soprano Anna Prohaska will be singing songs by Richard Strauss, Diepenbrock, Reger and Ravel. The instrumental works on the programme include Debussy’s Danse profane, with a leading role for principal harpist Anneleen Schuitemaker, and Mahler’s ‘Blumine’, and the Trepak from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker. It’s a unique programme full of historical connections with The Concertgebouw and the orchestra.
