CSO to Showcase Works from Composers Who Immersed Themselves in Vienna's Love of Dance
Led by CSO Music Director Jean-Marie Zeitouni, a frothy operetta overture and a regal waltz by Johann Strauss, Jr. share the bill with the lilting suite from Richard Strauss' (no family relation) oh-so-Viennese opera, Der Rosenkavalier. Piano soloist Marc-André Hamelin, hailed as "one of the most complete musicians of his generation" for his debut concert with the Berlin Philharmonic, adds to your enjoyment with playful works by Mozart and Richard Strauss.
The program includes Johann Strauss' Overture to Die Fledermaus, Richard Strauss' Burleske in D Minor for Piano and Orchestra, Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 1 in G Minor, Hungarian Dance No. 5 in G Minor,
Hungarian Dance No. 6 in D Major, Johann Strauss' Kaiserwalzer (Emperor Waltz), Mozart's Concert-Rondo in D Major for Piano and Orchestra, and Richard Strauss' Suite from Der Rosenkavalier.
