Philharmonic Chamber Music Recital

• Classical Music

This chamber music concert demonstrates how often music finds words for the inexpressible: Hugo Wolf composed his »Italian Serenade« for strings as an homage to the light-heartedness of his youth. If the tone in this work is cheerful, his songs reveal a different facet of the composer. In them, he attempted to unmask the masking of people, full of impressive authenticity and deep emotion. His Intermezzo in E flat major, which Wolf wrote a year before the Italian Serenade, is filled with elegy and hopeful passion. A composer’s life that wavered repeatedly between heaven and the abyss.
