Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden | Marie Jacquot by Strauss, Brahms, Van (2024/2024), Dirigent Marie Jacquot, Kölner Philharmonie, Keulen, Duitsland

Unfortunately, Christian Thielemann has to cancel his appearance at this concert and all other dates on the tour due to illness. We wish him a speedy recovery. Many thanks go to Marie Jacquot for her willingness to take over the direction of the concert with a modified program at short notice. Marie Jacquot is one of the most exciting conductors of the new generation. The young Frenchwoman, originally a trombonist, also had what it takes to be a tennis professional, but decided to take the conductor's baton and swapped the French Open for the world's great orchestras and concert halls, which she is currently taking by storm. In Cologne she navigates the traditional Saxon Staatskapelle Dresden through a delicious, romantic program. Richard Strauss was friendly with the Staatskapelle for more than sixty years; the musicians are in their element in his tone poems as well as in Brahms' Fourth Symphony, the crowning achievement of his symphonic work.
