Storm and Desire | Sol Gabetta I
Overview
Intro
Sol Gabetta | Aurel Dawidiuk | The Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen
Johannes Brahms was a great admirer of Franz Schubert, who collected his manuscripts and said: "Look at this Schubert! This is a guy who has what it takes to make you dizzy." Schubert's overture to the "Magic Harp", a "magic play in three acts", paints a fairytale world in rich orchestral colors. The motif of wandering and searching runs through this overture like a leitmotif - typical of Schubert - through "eternal pulsation" and march-like rhythms. Edward Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor found its way into concert halls thanks to the unforgotten Jacqueline du Pré. Sol Gabetta, Artist in Residence and "fairy with the cello as a magic wand", will discover new paths in her interpretation of Elgar's Cello Concerto. A work of shattering melancholy written shortly after the First World War. Brahms' Symphony No. 1 is a musical liberation after 14 years of intensive efforts to compose a new form of symphony. The result is a rousing struggle from darkness to light.
