Information about the programme
The Bamberger Symphoniker, whose Chief Conductor is Jakub Hrůša, has affectionately entitled its season “What we love.” And Hrůša loves the Eastern European canon, so he will present a trio of Eastern European composers (from the Czech Republic and Poland) in Munich: Janáček, Wieniawski, and Lutosławski. “When we love something, when we are really convinced of something, our natural impulse is to share it with others,” says Hrůša regarding Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra, a major work from the 1950s that was celebrated already at its premiere. There is also music from Osud, which is peppered with melodies typical of Janáček. And between those works is the impressive, romantic Second Violin Concerto, with which Wieniawski has captivated the greatest violinists in history – including Joshua Bell.
