Von Haydn bis Schubert

In his most famous symphonic fragment, the 'Unfinished' in B minor, Franz Schubert expressed the core principles of Romanticism more powerfully than anyone else. Before the interval, Polish conductor Marzena Diakun will immerse herself in Viennese Classicism, conducting her compatriot Szymon Nehring in Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 27. It was not until 2003 that it was proven that the concerto was written for the virtuoso pianist Victoire Jenamy, who was born in Strasbourg. The addition of ‘Oxford’ to Joseph Haydn's 92^(nd) symphony dates back to its performance in the university city, where the composer was awarded an honorary doctorate in 1791. In this symphony, Haydn proves that he can entertain scholars as magnificently as laymen.
