The programme features masterpieces by two of the leading personalities of the Romantic era that emerged in the first half of the 19th century. Schumann’s symphony is a curious work. Its four movements constitute a single coherent composition, and with its astonishing transformation of the themes, rich in lyrical and powerful images, Schumann himself called it a symphonic fantasia. Conducted by musical director of the Wiesbaden State Theatre, Zsolt Hamar, the second half of the programme features Mendelssohn’s 1831 cantata envisioning a fantastic world. Goethe’s poem portrays the clash between druids gathering for a pagan ritual in the Harz Mountains and Christians with visionary power. The colours, character and tension of the poem are further enhanced by Mendelssohn’s brilliant music.
