Me­ta­mor­pho­sen

Although the Staatsphilharmonie wind section keeps its end up, it’s the string players who dominate this concert, delivering three pearls from the chamber orchestra repertoire without conductor: Grieg’s “Holberg Suite”, Bach’s Doppelkonzert and Strauss’s addictive “Metamorphosen”. Who could wish for more?

PROGRAMME:
Edvard Grieg: Holberg Suite, op. 40, for strings
Charles Gounod: Petite Symphonie for wind
Johann Sebastian Bach: Concerto for 2 Violins and Orchestra in D minor, BWV 1043
Richard Strauss: Metamorphosen for 23 solo strings
