The ‘Musical Panorama’ programme spans three centuries of musical evolution: the music of Joseph Haydn, composed in the years immediately preceding the French Revolution, meets the early work of Alban Berg, born at the beginning of the 20th century. While Haydn draws on the laws of tonality to play with them and constantly surprise the listener, the boundaries of tonal music dissolve in Berg's Sonata Op. 1, giving rise to unprecedented sounds. These two works frame the grand narrative of Robert Schumann's ‘Symphonic Studies’. Starting with a theme from which he seeks to extract all its pathos, Schumann develops a veritable cosmos of moods. Between challenge and comfort, mourning and triumph, the music unfolds its most intrinsic power and ends in boundless euphoria!
