Programme

Two lesser known masterworks of the Golden Twenties: as Arnold Schoenberg bathed Bach’s monumental Prelude and Fugue in the instrumental colours of a large symphony orchestra in early 1928, Richard Strauss had completed his latest work a few weeks earlier. The cycle Die Tageszeiten(The Times of Day),based on poems by Eichendorff, is in no way inferior to the beauty of the famous Four Last Songs. After the interval the “Dante Symphony” by Franz Liszt, a composer who admired both Schoenberg and Strauss, offers a musical foretaste of the hereafter.
