The Salzburg Cultural Association invites the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, a top-class local orchestra, to Salzburg for a three-day guest performance. In the Great Festival Hall they perform works by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
Korngold wrote his first major symphonic work as a “child prodigy” at the age of just fifteen, giving the composition the modest title “Sinfonietta” even though it lasts more than 40 minutes. Richard Strauss sat next to his young colleague at the premiere in Vienna full of enthusiasm – he would conduct the piece himself in later years. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy was no less a “prodigy” when he created a true Romantic masterpiece with his E minor Violin Concerto. Dalibor Karvay, the Slovak concertmaster of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, will give the solo part to the work on January 17th and 18th.
On January 19th, Leonidas Kavakos, one of today’s great violin virtuosos, will take the stage and perform Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto.
Marie Jacquot is a young whiz kid from France at the podium, who is both chief conductor of the Royal Danish Theater and guest conductor of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.
