Vorpommern Philharmonic Orchestra Works by Weber, Strauss and Raff
Carl Maria von Weber: Overture to "Oberon"
Richard Strauss: Concerto for Horn and Orchestra No. 2 in E flat major
Joachim Raff: Symphony No. 3 in F major op. 153, "Im Walde"
A journey through the soundscapes of German Romanticism: between nature poetry, forest mysticism and orchestral fantasy, this concert unfolds a colorful panorama full of atmosphere and depth. Weber's overture to "Oberon" - marking the 200th anniversary of the composer's death and the 200th anniversary of the premiere - is the opening piece, a musical enchantment between elves, heroic legends and oriental exoticism, which sets the tone for the evening with its characteristic horn melody and fine orchestration. Richard Strauss' 2nd Horn Concerto is a late masterpiece by the composer, a sonorous homage to the horn, which has accompanied Strauss since childhood. The evening concludes with Joachim Raff's 3rd Symphony, whose epithet says it all. It transports the listener to a poetic forest landscape full of plays of light, mysterious moods and romantic tone colors - an impressive painting of nature in sound.
