This event has passed.
For their first concert of 2023, Bristol Classical Players invite you to a magical mystery tour in and around Vienna!
Beethoven Symphony No 6 in F, ‘Pastoral’
Strauss II Die Fledermaus Overture
Dvorak Legend Op 59/6
Strauss II Czardas from Ritter Pazman
Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No 2
Bartok Romanian Folk Dances
Strauss II By The Beautiful Blue Danube
Our journey begins with Beethoven’s beautiful Pastoral Symphony, charting his ‘awakening of happy feelings on arriving in the countryside’, a scene by the brook, a peasants’ dance, a ferocious thunderstorm and, finally, shepherd’s thanksgiving after the storm has abated.
The second half interleaves three pieces by Johann Strauss II (the overture to his sparkling operetta Die Fledermaus, a wild and whirling Czárdás and the Blue Danube, the ‘Waltz King’s most famous work) with dances from Slovakia, Hungary and Romania from Dvořák, Liszt and Bartók.
“This is an orchestra which loves to express itself” – Bristol 24/7
“A conductor of tremendous authority and flair” – Oxford Times on Tom Gauterin
