Concert Orchestre National de Bretagne

“The Three Faces of Vienna” Anton Webern, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Franz Schubert. [Violin] Fabien Boudot (violin), Thomas Presle (violin), Cyrile Robert (viola) and Olivier Lacour (cello). Program: Anton Webern – Langsamer Satz; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – Quartet No. 19 in C Major “Les Dissonances”, K.465 and Franz Schubert – Quartet No. 14 in D minor “The Maiden and Death”, D.810. Vienna has always been the cradle of composers breaking with their times and eager to change the history of music. From Mozart's distrust of the royal court to the second Vienna school with Webern, this program highlights three Viennese masters, all linked by musical experimentation through the ages. Mozart's Quartet No. 19, also called The Dissonances, flirts between a classical universe and an omen of the future, like the mysterious introduction to the work which could very well have been written two centuries later. This ambivalence between classical heritage and the desire to break with tradition is also found in the work Langsamer Satz by Anton Webern, one of the first composers to move away from tonality. Another emblematic figure to gradually abandon models inherited from the past, Franz Schubert. His work The Girl and Death is one of the masterpieces of classical music and has become a true icon of the beginnings of Gothic romanticism. Pre-sale tickets at the town hall.
