Gewandhausorchester Leipzig & Andris Nelsons
Have you ever felt nostalgic looking back while life keeps moving forward? Then this concert will speak to you: Symphony "The Philosopher" by Joseph Haydn and the stunning "Piano Concerto No. 1" by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy are two pieces brimming with youth and new ideas.
Later, "Symphony No. 3" by Johannes Brahms will be performed. Constructed around a personal maxim turned musical motif, "Frei aber froh" (free but happy), it delivers a profound reflection on life, love, and fleeting happiness. This work also offers the composer an opportunity to reminisce about his younger years while finishing the piece on an open and unresolved note, like an unanswerable question.
Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig present a lively musical program here, demonstrating it is possible to look back without turning into a pillar of salt.
