Gewandhausorchester Leipzig & Andris Nelsons

Gewandhausorchester Leipzig & Andris Nelsons

Ever found yourself feeling wistful, looking back, even as life moves forward? Then this concert will resonate with you. Joseph Haydn’s Philosopher Symphony .and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s dazzling Piano Concerto N° 1 .are two works bursting with youthful confidence and fresh ideas. Then comes Johannes Brahms’ Symphony N° 3, built on the motto «Frei, aber froh» (Free, but happy), a deeply personal reflection on life, love and fleeting happiness. It recalls his halycon youth, yet leaves questions hanging in its quiet, unresolved ending. Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig guide us through music full of life, yet always glancing back.
