About this Concert:
Of all the penniless composers who wrote glorious music they never lived to hear, Franz Schubert is the best example; his heavenly C-major Symphony in the hands of this Orchestra and conductor would’ve been a magical gift to this now legendary composer.
- Minnesota Orchestra
- Osmo Vänskä, conductor
- Alban Gerhardt, cello
- Susie Park, violin
- Greg Milliren, flute
- Wendy Williams, flute
BACH
Brandenburg Concerto No. 4
ELGAR
Cello Concerto
SCHUBERT
Symphony in C major, The Great
More Details:
- Alban Gerhardt is famous in his native Germany for taking music to the people: he performs in schools, prisons, hospitals, moving commuter trains—and in SRO concert halls.
- You’ll only see a handful of players onstage for Bach’s sunny Brandenburg Concerto No. 4; it’s “chamber music” meant for a small virtuoso orchestra.
- Elgar composed his Cello Concerto in a cottage on the English Channel where he’d heard the French artillery rumble late at night during WWI.
- Schubert’s Great Symphony was discovered years after his death in a stack of papers kept in a closet by his brother.
