Contemplative winter music between Christmas and New Year's
At the beginning of the concert, a mystical energy unfolds, ranging from Arvo Pärt’s minimalist composition “Mirror in Mirror” to the melancholicpassionate melodies of Piazzolla and Tchaikovsky to the extraordinary tonal worlds of Josef Suk and Nadia Boulanger, whose masterful works are still far too rarely heard in concert halls today. These exquisite musical selections convey the special atmosphere of the Rauhnächte and leave room to breathe deeply, reflect, and dream. Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Sonata for Cello and Piano in G minor provides a powerful conclusion; with its emotional depth, it guides the listener through the darkness of winter nights toward a radiant musical and personal finale to the year.
