Soloist: Benjamin Baker Monday 16th October 2017 at 7.30pmSt John’s Smith Square |
Programme:Richard Strauss – Der Rosenkavalier Suite Berg – Violin Concerto Schmidt – Symphony No.4 For a review of this concert please click here. Der Rosenkavalier sparkles, notably in the famous waltzes, but also is poignant contemplating the passing of youth. Berg’s Violin Concerto is dedicated “to the memory of an angel”, Alma Mahler’s daughter Manon Gropius. The central movement of Franz Schmidt’s best known 4th Symphony also mourns loss as “a requiem for my daughter”. |
