Concert information
Info
Clara Schumann enthused about the “mysterious magic of woodland life” that she sensed while listening to Brahms’ Third Symphony. She was right; the work is full of idyllic images of nature. Brahms combines lively, folk-like melodies with a rich late-Romantic sound world – an aesthetic that inspired the young Anton Webern to compose his yearning Langsamer Satz. Igor Stravinsky, in turn, takes his cue from Viennese Classicism in his Symphonie in C, enriching its clarity and transparency with his unmistakable musical language. The result? A fresh reinterpretation of musical traditions.

Russian composers between East and West
When we talk today about a globalised world, we must not think that the people in the past always remained in their native environment. Russian composers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, at any rate, looked for exchange with the Western musical world. Sometimes they were fleeing the looming revolution, but above all, they were driven by curiosity and the desire for intercultural dialogue.
Biography
Daniele Gatti
“When you present an interpretation of a work to the public,” says Daniele Gatti, “it should convey something new, it should open up fresh perspectives on the piece – in other words, it should be illuminating, especially when it comes to music we all know so well.” Acclaimed by the Süddeutsche Zeitung for “feeling, breathing, and understanding the music together with the musicians”, Gatti has an interest in revealing fresh facets in the great classics of music history; he is known equally for his work in concert halls and opera houses.
Born in Milan, where he studied conducting and composition and made his debut at La Scala in the 1987/88 season, Gatti has been Chief Conductor of the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden since the 2024/25 season, succeeding Christian Thielemann. He previously served as Music Director of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma and held major posts at institutions including the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Teatro Comunale di Bologna, and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam. In 2015, Daniele Gatti was named Best Conductor by Italian music critics with the Premio Franco Abbiati. A year later, he was awarded the title Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur for his work as Music Director of the Orchestre National de France.
