Description
It will be an exhilarating feast of voices – accompanied by the Elbphilharmonie organ and a large symphony orchestra. The program features two of the most prominent stars of the international opera world today, soprano Camilla Nylund and tenor Klaus Florian Vogt, as well as exuberant late Romantic music by Richard Wagner and Walter Braunfels.
Wagner inspired Walter Braunfels, born in 1882, who, alongside Richard Strauss, was considered the most frequently performed German-language opera composer until his ban in 1933. All the great conductors of the first half of the 20th century were eager to perform Braunfels’ music. His opera »Die Vögel« (The Birds), written after World War I, and his »Te Deum«, which follows on from Gustav Mahler’s »Symphony of a Thousand«, brought Braunfels world fame – before a professional ban in 1933 brought everything to an abrupt end.
Since the 1990s, Braunfels’ music has been rediscovered internationally – and now shines in symphonic splendor for the first time at the Elbphilharmonie.
