Haydn & Strauss

Richard Strauss was just 19 years old when he wrote his stirring first horn concerto, which is melodious, radiant and virtuosic. This is a wonderful opportunity for Tonkünstler solo hornist Jonas Rudner to shine throughout a whole piece. Principal conductor Fabien Gabel frames this cornerstone of late Romantic literature with works from France and England: in Le Tombeau de Couperin, Maurice Ravel created a dance suite that is as charming as it is cryptic, offering an original take on 18^(th)-century French music. Joseph Haydn's Symphony No. 99 in E-flat major was considered by a reviewer at its premiere to be 'one of the greatest achievements in art'.
