Concerto for Violin and orchestra, op. 33

Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme, Orchestral Suite Op. 60

Approved

Carl Nielsen, the «only pioneer in Danish music», made his big breakthrough with his concerto for violin and orchestra. The work allows the soloist to put her instrument in the best light. This is followed by Richard Strauss' suite «The bourgeois as nobleman». Both drew on baroque musical forms in their works and breathed the breath of modernity into them.

English

Carl Nielsen, dem «einzig Bahnbrechenden in der dänischen Musik», gelang mit seinem Konzert für Violine und Orchester der grosse Durchbruch. Das Werk erlaubt der Solistin, ihr Instrument in das beste Licht zu rücken. Darauf folgt Richard Strauss’ Suite «Der Bürger als Edelmann». Beide griffen in ihren Werken auf barocke musikalische Formen zurück und hauchten ihnen den Atem der Moderne ein.
