The first part of the concert is a “benefit performance” for Andrea Rost, one of the greatest Hungarian singers of our times, who assembles her every performance with unparalleled care and always surprises her audience with something new. For this occasion, she provides us with a taste of the song and operatic repertoire of the early 20th century. A composer of the Second Viennese School, Alban Berg reached for one of the least accessible methods of composition in modern music, the twelve-tone t...echnique. This evening, we will hear his cycle of Seven Early Songs composed to the verse of Rilke, Lenau and other poets, a work from his youth in which the influence of his great predecessors Mahler, Richard Strauss and Debussy can clearly be felt. Erich Wolfgang Korngold was one of the great masters of 20th century film music. The Oscar-winning composer also wrote six operas, the most famous being Die tote Stadt (The Dead City) from 1920, from which we will hear a rightly popular and beautiful aria. Another side to Korngold is revealed in the suite he compiled and orchestrated from works by the members of the Strauss dynasty. All this is crowned by Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4, one of his brightest works, which followed and served as a counterpoint to his monumental Eroica Symphony.
