Klosters Music - Shining Role Models

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky appreciated the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and even composed a suite called "Mozartiana". The concert of the Munich Chamber Orchestra under Christoph Koncz begins with Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake Suite – a charming best-of of his enchanting ballet music. With Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 4 in E flat major, Klosters Music is the first brass instrument to take centre stage, mastered to perfection by British horn player Ben Goldscheider. Robert Schumann was also a role model for the young Johannes Brahms. With his profound Symphony No. 2 in C major, Schumann found his way out of a mental crisis. After the energetic finale, which is reminiscent of Mendelssohn Bartholdy's "Italian Symphony", Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 1 in G minor sets a final exclamation mark.
