Romanticism is not just a bygone era; it is a fundamental human longing. It is the search for emotion, for meaning within the objective world.
In addition to rarely heard late works by Fritz Dobler, this program features Tango Nuevo by Astor Piazzolla and songs by Schumann, De Falla, and Britten. Fabian Dobler conducts, and we are joined by bandoneonist Antje Steen and singer Douglas Yates.
Thus, this program, whose works span from the 19th to the 21st century, makes the idea of musical Romanticism tangible - that magical mixture of hypersensitivity, intoxicating emotion and dreamy sonic sensuality.
