Philharmonic Chamber Music Recital

Between Sweet Sensuality and Brittle Wonder

This chamber concert by the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra takes you on a musical journey through the 20th century – and nonchalantly into what is probably the most sensual (music) history lesson. The music of the 20th century oscillated between impressionism and expressionism, between sweet sensuality and brittle wonder: Darius Milhaud, Ernst Krenek, Alexander von Zemlinsky and Francis Poulenc are children as well as artists of a zeitgeist which, in the face of social upheavals and political abysses, demanded as well as promoted a music of resistance, reflection and diversion.
