With a heritage as rich as a Sachertorte, tonight鈥檚 concert gorges on the finest musical ingredients of Austria鈥檚 capital. Beethoven鈥檚 symphonies are cornerstones of the orchestral world 鈥� our very own sponge cake base! The Seventh Symphony is a feast of rhythm and dance, although Beethoven came from Spanish stock and maybe this just got the better of him when he cooked it up 鈥� expect more barnstorming than boleros. A hundred years on, the music of Berg stirred from the melting pot of 1900s Vienna. His Violin Concerto is, by turn, angelic and angst-ridden, one of the most innovative pieces ever written for the instrument. 鈥榃altz King鈥� Johann Strauss II provides the icing on the cake with his Emperor Waltz, with a bonus trip down the river Danube, our dance through Vienna is complete.
