BRAHMS 4: Concert Various

Brahms waited until he reached full creative maturity to begin his four symphonies, true monuments of nineteenth-century symphonic language. The Symphony no. 4, 1885, is the author's farewell to the symphonic genre and the culmination of a tradition begun by Haydn and Beethoven. The third major descending interval that heads the initial movement becomes a structural and motivic foundation throughout the piece, while the final movement takes the model of the baroque jackets, with a descending ostinato taken from Johann Sebastian Bach's Cantata 150 and elaborated along successive variations until ending at a soaked end of the initial tragic pathos.
Joan Magrané, guest composer at L'Auditori during the 2021-2022 season, premieres Abglanz(Reflex), for soprano, choir and orchestra, a commissioned work based on two poems from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 's Suleika 's Book on the East-West Divan . The author takes advantage of the use of the filigree and the orientalizing tone - from the European point of view - of the texts to introduce them within his particular sound universe.
