  • Chamber Orchestra of Europe

Programme

Franz Schubert (1797–1828)
Entr’acte No. 3 in B flat major from „Rosamunde“, D 797

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827)
Triple concerto in C major, op. 56

When chamber music and orchestra come together, a very special energy is created: in his ‘Triple Concerto’, Beethoven brings together a piano trio with a large orchestra. Experience the unique ‘vibes’ when the three soloists bounce musical ideas off each other! There is hardly any music more suited to this than that of Ludwig van Beethoven, which radiates cheerfulness and joie de vivre despite his progressive deafness – and is often used in music therapy. In this concert, the Kronberg Young Soloists – alumni and students – perform together with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe under Sir András Schiff.

A wedding gift can only evoke positive emotions, right? French composer César Franck wrote his great violin sonata in A major as a wedding gift for violin virtuoso Eugène Ysaÿe. The moving interpretation by master violinist Kolja Blacher also features Bach's soothing and comforting violin sonata in E major. In Bach's time, the effect of his music was described as “invigorating the spirit”; today we can say that Bach simply makes us happy.
