Münchner Philharmoniker / Lahav Shani

In the organizer's words:

Tame revolutionaries

Even today, the name Arnold Schönberg makes many people in the music world shrug their shoulders. Schönberg's music is often considered to be cerebral and difficult to access. Well, this may even be true of his revolutionary "twelve-tone music", but his late Romantic works are the exact opposite: powerful, emotional, stirring. The symphonic poem "Pelleas and Melisande", for example, tells the story of two unhappy lovers who cannot come together because of their tangled pasts. The music traverses the entire emotional spectrum of its main characters - from the tenderest sounds of love to raging jealousy and the ultimate world-weariness.
