A bridge spanning almost exactly 150 years: the Viennese Classical age, Romantic music in all its symphonic fullness and a voyage into the tonal worlds of the Modern era. The programme is specially tailored for Les Siècles, who can be heard in two concerts on one evening. In the first concert at 18:00, the musicians of the authentic-sound ensemble present Hector Berlioz’s “Symphonie fantastique”, one of their internationally acclaimed showpieces, and embark on an almost symphonic journey with soloist Isabelle Faust in Beethoven’s only violin concerto. The musicians adopt the instrumentation appropriate to the time in which each work was composed, captivating the attention with a fresh, often unusual view of old and new.
