7. Sinfoniekonzert by Farrenc, L., Price, Berlioz, 月 08 5月 2023, から (2023/2023), 導体 Vito Cristofaro, Staatstheater, Oldenburg, Germany

The 7th symphony concert belongs to three important women in music history. It opens with an overture by Louise Farrenc, the first female professor at the Paris Conservatory: rooted in German classicism through her teacher Anton Reicha, she clearly set out on the path to French Romanticism as early as 1834. Around 80 years later, the 19-year-old Lili Boulanger created a musical sensation with 'Faust et Hélène': with her adaptation of Goethe's 'Faust II' she became the first woman to win the coveted 'Prix de Rome' in 1913 and became instantly famous. "I am a woman - and I have black blood in my veins", is how Florence Price, born in 1887, called the "handicaps" on her way to success. In her 3rd symphony from 1938/40 she combines classical forms and elements of her origins - with percussive power and rousing rhythms.
