Camille Saint-Saëns: Cello Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 33
Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 in E major, WAB 107
Nicolas Altstaedt (cello)
Conductor: Iván Fischer
Romance, with a capital R, the way a French and an Austrian composer understand it. The first half of the concert featured a concerto, temperamental at times, by Saint-Saëns exploring extreme moods. Rachmaninoff and Shostakovich called it the greatest concerto of all time. The soloist will be Nicolas Altstaedt, whom international critics have described as being in a class of his own, a great storyteller who captivates audiences with each note. After the intermission, Iván Fischer will lead the orchestra for Bruckner’s monumental Symphony No. 7. Over an hour long, the piece was Bruckner’s most acclaimed work. And as surprising as it may seem, Wagner provides the link between the two pieces. The conservatives described Saint-Saëns as too modern, calling him a forerunner of Wagner, while Bruckner was a devotee of his compatriot’s music and paid homage to Wagner in several ways through his own music.
