Mendelssohn – Strauss
Brussels Philharmonic
During a cultural journey, Mendelssohn falls completely under the spell of La Bella Italia. The rich art treasures, the beautiful landscape, the many traditions – they all earn a place in his Fourth Symphony.
Iconic stories with strong characters in the leading role – Tijl Uilenspiegel, Don Juan, Zarathustra: Richard Strauss was irresistibly drawn to it. In his masterful version of Don Quixote, Richard Strauss drags his listeners sometimes delicately, sometimes ironically and flamboyantly, into the fight against injustice.
