KuK Aarau Schlosspl. 9, Aarau, SchweizIDYLL? Emilie Mayer (1812-1883): Faust Overture, op. 46 (1880) Tryvge Madsen (*1940): Konsert for horn og orkester op. 45 Christian Loferer, horn -Pause- Georges Bizet (1838-1875): "L'Arlésienne" Suites No. 1 and 2 Appearance and reality: between the radiant idyll and the subterranean other, the big question mark flashes up again and again in this program. Highly acclaimed, forgotten, rediscovered: Emilie Mayer's vita reflects the deceptive "idyll" of the female composer, first celebrated as a female Beethoven and promptly archived as a second-rate female epigone.
