Programme notes

Lakes, gardens and the always elegant city of Vienna. The masterful baton of Salvador Mas will take us into the music of three essential composers to understand musical romanticism.

The Unfinished (1822) is one of the most interpreted symphonies of the Viennese Franz Schubert for two reasons: firstly, because of the mystery of not really knowing why he did not finish it or if he really only wanted it to have two movements and therefore in fact did finish it, and secondly because it brings together all the characteristics of his time in a sublime way (drama, hope, sadness…).

Josef Strauss is not as famous as his brother Johann, maybe because his music is less splendorous but his skill in orchestration is perfectly reflected in this Polka-Mazurka, which speaks of the flight of the dragonfly in the Viennese gardens.

The Second Symphony of Johannes Brahms was conceived in the summer of 1877 on Lake Wörth (southern Austria) and premiered three months later in Vienna. Some scholars consider that it could be called ‘pastoral symphony’ because in each of its four movements the music draws rural atmospheres as well as a certain nostalgia for life in communion with nature.
