"Trois femmes de légende" or in German "Three legendary women" is the motto of this concert. This is not only the title of the first pieces by the late romantic French composer Mel Bonis. Seldom has a motto fit so well with Alma Mahler-Werfel and Louise Farrenc, the creators of the rest of the program. Mel Bonis studied composition with Claude Debussy, but at the insistence of the family had to break off her education and get married. She dutifully fulfilled her role as the administrator of an upper-class household. In addition, she managed to compose, especially piano and chamber music, and the colorful piano pieces she orchestrated herself on "legendary" female figures show an artist whose work can absolutely compete with her better-known colleagues. Alma Mahler-Werfel is considered the last great salon lioness at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The names of their husbands, lovers, companions, friends and acquaintances reads almost like a “Who's Who” of the great minds of this time. She composed during a short period of her life. Her first husband Gustav Mahler saw it

“Composing couple” in a “peculiar rivalry” and clearly assigned them the task of “taking the little things in life from him”. The Finnish conductor legend Jorma Panula has composed some of the surviving piano songs with great sensitivity for orchestra. The soloist is the Swedish soprano Solgerd Isalv, who is engaged at the Darmstadt State Theater, who with her dramatic, luminous mezzo-soprano will give this expressive music vivid and radiant colors.

Louise Farrenc has always worked as a professional musician. Raised in an artistically successful family of sculptors, trained as a pianist and composer in Paris in the 1820s, she and her husband, who was a flautist, undertook her first concert tours at the age of 17, later ran a music publisher and became professor of piano at the Paris Conservatory in 1842 . In the same year she completed Symphony No. 1, Op. 32 , which, in its classically romantic form, is entirely committed to a European musical tradition.
