If the string soloists starred in the previous programme, it will now feature the piano played by Denis Kozhukhin, winner of the Queen Elizabeth Competition in 2010 and a close associate of Robert Treviño. Together they will perform Johannes Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1, which was originally intended to be a symphony, thus lending it a very special character and making it one of the most beloved concerto works in German Romanticism. Next we will have another score inspired by Maeterlinck's play, Pelléas and Mélisande, composed by a young Arnold Schoenberg. He wrote this symphonic poem at the age of 28, before taking the leap to atonalism and dodecaphonism, and one can sense the spirit of Brahms, one of his greatest guides during his first period as a composer in Vienna, in its lyrical melodies and dense harmonies.
