This concert is Renee Fleming's very personal homage to 'Fin de Siecle' Vienna. At the turn of the Iast century, the capitaI of the Austrian Empire was also one of the cuIturaI centers for the fi ne arts and, in particuIar, for music. The city of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, a 'meIting pot' of cultures and musical traditions, attracted gifted musicians and composers alike and provided the perfect soiI for much of the greatest music of that time. With this seIection of works by Hugo Wolf (1860 -1903) and Gustav MahIer (1860 -1911), combined with more progressive songs by Alexander ZemIinsky (1871 - 1942), ArnoId Schoenberg (1874 - 1951) and Erich WoIfgang KorngoId (1897 - 1957), Renee FIeming presents to us the fuII variety of this unique epoch. The venue of her recitaI with Maciej Pikulski at the piano is, of course, the GoIden Hall of the Musikverein Vienna. |
