Season’s theme composer Sofia Gubaidulina in presentation
Does the violin have a human soul? According to Gubaidulina, yes, and she believes the violin can convey the deepest emotions. It is hard to imagine a better interpreter than Sergei Krylov for Gubaidulina’s massive, yearning Offertorium violin concerto. What’s its companion? Flaming violins, as Schönberg rewrites one of Brahms’s most beloved chamber works and transforms it into a multicolored symphony – a piece in which conductor Anja Bihlmaier shines.
