Au cœur de Vienne by Various, Alkaen (2023/2023), Musiikinjohto Gergely Madaras, Palais de la Musique et des Congrès, Strasbourg, France

Strasbourg invites the Orchester National de Lille for a Viennese evening. An evening that will take us not to the Vienna of Strauss' waltzes, but to the city that allowed composers like Mozart and Schubert to set the framework for great orchestral form; and, a century later, to Berg and Webern to free themselves from the rules set by their elders. Of the first two, we will hear some of the most famous symphonies. Of the other two, poisonous scores: concise and sharp in the case of the Variations for orchestra , lyrical and still adolescent in the case of the Sieben frühe Lieder of which Die Nachtigall, in particular, is an enchantment.
