no composer’s works symbolize the spirit
of Habsburg Vienna more vividly than
the Strauss family and their immortal
waltzes, with Johann Strauss the Younger’s
masterpiece in 3/4 time, On the Beautiful
Blue Danube, the favourite of them all.
after the dance, luxuriate in the voluptuous
sounds of QSo’s strings in one of the last
and greatest outpourings of Romantic
Viennese music, arnold Schonberg’s
Transfigured Night. In his annual pilgrimage
to Queensland, British violinist Jack
Liebeck, reprises his 2011 success with
Brahms’ profound and moving Violin
Concerto; a work which enshrines the
composer’s soul.

Long overshadowed by the ubiquitous First, Tchaikovsky’s Second Piano Concerto is
finally receiving its just acknowledgement. Here is a rare chance to hear this marvelously
expansive work in its entirety and marvel at the long reverie during the slow movement
where the piano participates in a dialogue with cello and violin. It is performed by eldar
nebolsin, who has garnered accolades for his recordings of Romantic music. another
revelation is the Gorchakov arrangement of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition. Many
leading conductors believe this orchestration conveys more of the colour, vitality and
earthiness of old Russia. This sensational version is like looking at the pictures with decades
of varnish removed.
