Please note: Unfortunately, due to the existing travel restrictions, Esa-Pekka Salonen had to cancel his participation in the planned livestream concert from the Philharmonie im Gasteig on Friday, November 27, 2020. At the same time, we are very pleased that Karina Canellakis will be able to take over the direction of the programme unchanged.

Information about the programme

The concert opens with Serenade in E-flat major for 13 wind instruments (op. 7), composed by Richard Strauss at the age of 17. This journeyman piece already sparkles with the typical Straussian inflection. His Four Lieder of 1894 (op. 27), sung by Camilla Nylund, are gems of the late-romantic repertoire. Five years later Arnold Schoenberg wrote his string sextet Transfigured Night after a poem by Richard Dehmel. Poised between late romanticism and the burgeoning modern era, this gripping work was arranged for string orchestra in 1917, producing an even more sophisticated interplay of solo and ensemble passages.

NO LIVE AUDIENCE IN NOVEMBER

On 28 October, the Federal Chancellor and the heads of government of the federal states decided to prohibit events from 2 November until the end of the month, among other measures to contain the corona pandemic. On this basis, the Bayerischer Rundfunk is forced to cancel the concerts of its orchestras and musica viva. Tickets already purchased will be refunded.
