For Nikolaus Harnoncourt they are among 'the greatest that there is in music': Schumann’s profound and sumptuous Scenes from Goethe's Faust, which alternate between incidental music, cantata and secular oratorio. Leading this rare performance is British conductor Daniel Harding, widely considered to be the specialist for this large-scale, bewitchingly beautiful masterpiece, not least thanks to a CD released last year to widespread acclaim. Part of the superb ensemble involved in that recording were wonderful singers such as Christian Gerhaher, Christiane Karg and Alastair Miles, who Harding now brings to Vienna. Please note: This concert is presented as part of a cooperation between the Wiener Symphoniker and the Wiener Konzerthaus Society.

English

Für Nikolaus Harnoncourt gehören sie "zum Größten, das es in der Musik gibt": Schumanns tiefgründig schwelgerische, zwischen Schauspielmusik, Kantate und weltlichem Oratorium changierende Faust Szenen. Leiten wird diese rare Aufführung der britische Dirigent Daniel Harding, der weithin als der Spezialist für dieses groß angelegte, berückend schöne Meisterwerk gilt, nicht zuletzt dank einer im letzten Jahr veröffentlichten, breit gefeierten CD-Aufnahme. Teil des fulminanten Ensembles waren auch da schon so wundervolle SängerInnen wie Christian Gerhaher, Christiane Karg und Alastair Miles, die Harding nun mit nach Wien bringen wird. Anmerkung: Dieses Konzert wird im Rahmen einer Kooperation zwischen den Wiener Symphonikern und der Wiener Konzerthausgesellschaft durchgeführt.
