Beethoven Triple Concerto

 

Even Beethoven was not always storming the heavens: his Triple Concert is more like a genial conversation between friends, a perfect vehicle for our three wonderful soloists. ASO Principal Horn, Philip Hall, pours forth a stream of golden tone in Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 3. The ASO reprises the triumphant 2007 Sibelius Festival with the dark and beautiful tone poem En Saga.

Ghosts of Reason (world premiere)
Schoenberg Transfigured Night
Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1

 

Few composers launched their orchestral compositions as fearlessly and ambitiously as the young Brahms. His First Piano Concert is a titanic struggle between piano and orchestra, softened by its slow movement, which is both a poignant elegy to his lost friend Robert Schumann and a veiled declaration of love for his young widow, Clara. The temperature reaches fever pitch with Schoenberg at his most intense as he explores the beauty and anguish of extreme passion in Transfigured Night. This concert will open with a new work specially commissioned by the Schueler family.
