Nostalgie

About

Russian music is known for melancholy waves in orchestras - but that is only one of its many colors. Two unusual solo concerts are on the program: Alexander Glasunow discovered the charm of the saxophone in old age, and Reinhold Glière wrote the first ever concerto for voice and orchestra, which became an instant hit. In his MOZARTIANA, Tchaikovsky lovingly dresses four pieces by his adored and beloved colleague Mozart in his own orchestral robe. Alexander Weprik, who was silenced under Stalin and a pioneer of the New Jewish School, is still to be discovered. For example with his yearning pastoral.
