The English composer Thomas Tallis lived during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, the cultural peak of the English Renaissance. Ralph Vaughan Williams studied his music as a young man. Tallis's theme, which Williams fantasizes about in 1910, is a setting of the poignant Psalm verse "Why do the peoples rage, why do the nations plot in vain?"
Benjamin Britten's interest was not only in British culture, but also in the continent, particularly France, where Arthur Rimbaud's ten nearly untranslatable poems come from. Its lyrics and Britten's setting are filled with the spirit of the urban, which is transformed to a mystical and surreal level: »The Bacchantes from the suburbs are sobbing, and the moon burns and howls. Venus enters the caves of blacksmiths and hermits.« The
fact that Beethoven not only wrote an "Eroica" in 1803, which was originally to be called "Sinfonia Bonaparte", but also piano variations on the melody of the English royal anthem shows that he had sympathies for the British as well cherished, because his horizon was also that of a European.
With so many musical interdependencies of the European nations and so much inclination towards each other, the "Brexit" is also a deplorable cultural event. Christian Zacharias, internationally renowned pianist, conductor and author of this not-so-serious program about the relationship between the United Kingdom and the European continent, also found the right orchestral work for its conclusion: Haydn's 45th is not one of the twelve symphonies that he wrote for London composed, but it is a particularly expressive one, dramatic and with a uniquely staged farewell...
