About the Concert

Sneak Peek

Although violin and cello are essentially siblings, there were no significant double concertos for these two instruments before Brahms. He only wrote one because he had two special artist colleagues in mind for whom he wanted to compose something: the famous violinist Joseph Joachim and the cellist Robert Hausmann. However, it was a great success, and today the concerto is among the most popular and frequently performed of its kind. Completed incomplete - that's how one could also call Franz Schubert's Symphony in B minor, because even without the "missing" movements, it is a masterpiece. Moreover, it is full of secrets. To this day, it is not known why Schubert did not finish it, nor why a friend kept it locked away for 40 years. Also unknown is why Schubert wrote it in the key of B minor, which was unusual in his time. All of this does not diminish the work, on the contrary, with each listen, one can discover something new and be amazed. This concert, conducted by Aurel Dawidiuk, is supported as part of the concert promotion Forum Dirigieren - an initiative of the German Music Council - with funding from the Gesellschaft zur Verwertung von Leistungsschutzrechten mbH (GVL).
