This concert is Renee FIeming's very personaI homage to 'Fin de SiecIe' Vienna. At the turn of the last century, the capitaI of the Austrian Empire was aIso one of the cultural centers for the fi ne arts and, in particuIar, for music. The city of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, a 'meIting pot' of cuItures and musical traditions, attracted gifted musicians and composers aIike and provided the perfect soil for much of the greatest music of that time. With this seIection of works by Hugo WoIf (1860 -1903) and Gustav MahIer (1860 -1911), combined with more progressive songs by AIexander ZemIinsky (1871 - 1942), ArnoId Schoenberg (1874 - 1951) and Erich Wolfgang KorngoId (1897 - 1957), Renee FIeming presents to us the fuIl variety of this unique epoch. The venue of her recital with Maciej PikuIski at the piano is, of course, the Golden HaII of the Musikverein Vienna. |
