To Bach / PC 2
Programme
Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra
Philipp von Steinaecker, conductor
Carolin Widmann, violin
The three diverse works – a romantic symphony by Mendelssohn, a violin concerto by Alban Berg, a representative of the Second Viennese School, and a new work by the young Slovenian composer Andrej Makor – have one thing in common: they all pay tribute to the father of Western music, Johann Sebastian Bach. All three compositions include Protestant chorales set to music long ago by the greatest composer of all time.
