Roméo et Juliette, Op. 17 – orchestral passages (Scène d’amour, La reine Mab scherzo, Roméo seul, Banquet scene)
This concert by the Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra showcases the three faces of Romanticism: Brahms’s Variations on a Theme by Haydn (1873) is a masterpiece of Late Romanticism, while Richard Strauss’s Burleske in D minor (1885-86), composed for piano and orchestra, is an early example of ironically retrospective Post-Romanticism, and Berlioz’s dramatic symphony Romeo and Juliet (1839), considered a rarity much like the Strauss piece, remains one of the finest achievements of the first great wave of Romanticism. The world-famous American conductor Lawrence Foster is a recurring guest of the HNPO, as is the singularly virtuosic pianist Denis Kozhukhin.
