3. Sinfoniekonzert by Wagner, Richard, Strauss, Shostakovich, ndz 29 sty 2023, od (2023/2023), Dyrygent Hartmut Haenchen, Oper Halle, Halle, Niemcy

The program of the 3rd symphony concert brings together very different works that were written in the last years of the composer's life. Parsifal, the pure fool, to a certain extent the antipode to the nihilist Faust, has repeatedly served as a projection screen for different interpretations throughout the history of reception. The prelude to Wagner's stage festival play, which Hartmut Haenchen conducted in Bayreuth in 2016 and 2017, is followed by Strauss's "Four Last Songs", nostalgic and marked by a premonition of death, and Shostakovich's last symphony, which, alongside the overture to Rossini's last opera "Wilhelm Tell", is Wagnerian motives reflected. However, the composer did not want to end the work with this work, but rather to look to the future.
