At the Easter Festival in Baden-Baden, Sir Simon Rattle conducted works from the early 20th century. The star guest of the evening was the award-winning Latvian mezzo-soprano Elina Garanca – The European music scene of the early 20th century was an incredibly exciting epoch, in which the developments of the dawning modern age cast their shadows ahead The Seven Early Songs by Alban Berg are youth works from the beginning of the 20th century. Maurice Ravel’s three-part cycle Shéhérazade, premiered in 1903 almost at the same time, is the protagonist of Maurice Ravel’s famous storyteller from the Tausendundeine Nacht collection. Stavinsky’s Petrushka is the enchanting story about a ballerina and the futile hero who wins her over. The composer magically captures the atmosphere of a 19th century fair in Russia. Richard Strauss’ Don Juan is characterized by a combination of youthful temperament and compositional confidence. |
