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