About the Concert

Repeating a movement of a symphony at a concert? During Beethoven's lifetime, this was not uncommon, and the audience loved the second movement of his Seventh Symphony so much that it regularly had to be played again. Today, this is unusual, but the symphony has not lost its appeal to this day. It was also referred to as the "Apotheosis," meaning the deification of dance, which is no surprise, as rhythm plays an important role in all four movements. Whether Richard Wagner's "Siegfried Idyll" also had to be repeated after its first performance is unknown. However, it is conceivable, as he composed it as a gift for his wife Cosima, for whom it was premiered on her birthday on the grand staircase of the family's residence. The title refers to Siegfried, their son, as well as to Wagner's operatic heroes. Max Bruch's First Violin Concerto, with its grand melodies and passionate finale, is among the most popular works for violin ever. It combines virtuosic brilliance with a warm, romantic sound and gives the solo violin ample opportunity to shine.
