Sabina Cvilak<br />
The seventh subscription concert comes before<br />
Easter and its programme is prepared to match the<br />
festive mood.<br />
The composer Zvonimir Ciglič, who died this year,<br />
is among the greatest Slovenian composers. His<br />
work is an amalgam of expressionistic ecstasy and<br />
French elegance.<br />
David Finckel<br />
Edward Elgar, the central figure of English music<br />
at the end of the 19 th and the beginning of the<br />
20 th century, composed his concert for violoncello<br />
in E minor after the First World War; he<br />
conceived it as an elegy for the world which had<br />
been lost. This unusual and profound Romantic<br />
work will be performed by the violoncellist<br />
David Finckel, who performs with the renowned<br />
Emerson Quartet.<br />
François Poulenc, a member of the famous group<br />
of French composers »Les six«, wrote Stabat Mater<br />
in 1951 in memory of his friend, the painter<br />
Christian Bernard. This soul-stirring work of art,<br />
in which translucent elegance radiates through<br />
deep sorrow, is one of the most beautiful religious<br />
musical works of the 20 th century. The soprano<br />
Sabina Cvilak will appear as a soloist; she is a<br />
winner of several international competitions and<br />
a permanent member of the Vienna State Opera.<br />
