Abstract
Dutch-born Janine Jansen is one of the most renowned violinists of our time. Springy lightness and energetic drama are among her trademarks, as well as radiant inwardness - qualities that are also in demand in Tchaikovsky's famous violin concert. The interpretation of this violin classic with two top musicians like Janine Jansen and Gianandrea Noseda can already be looked forward to with anticipation. To conclude this Sunday matinee, Gianandrea Noseda will then conduct Anton Bruckner's chamber music Sixth Symphony, which Bruckner himself described as his «most pert» and «boldest». Here, for the first time, Bruckner explores the bright sphere of A major after the fateful B flat keys. The Scherzo in particular is considered experimental, in which elfin shadows and almost coarse brass motifs attempt to unite in a whimsical dance. In the finale, Bruckner reveals himself to be a Wagner admirer: the «Mild und leise» theme of the Liebestod from Wagner's Tristan und Isolde is heard in a delicate melody.
